A beautifully fruity and soft wine, this Zweigelt is a perfect, go-to, uncomplicated companion for drinking any day of the week. It’s so soft and smooth that it can also perform well slightly chilled for those warm summer evenings.

Made from a range of 23 to 63 year old vines, the organically farmed clusters were hand-picked at the end of September. 

Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, with punch down of the must cap 2 to 4 times each day. After that the wine was transferred to oak barriques where malolactic conversion took place before being transferred to larger oak barrels for 12 months ageing.
