Wine Description
Nur die allerbesten Trauben der Ried Tanzer werden für diese Zweigelt Reserve ausgewählt. Der Wein präsentiert seinen subtilen Charme mit sortentypischen Beeren- und Kirschfruchtanklängen. Der feinnervige Wein mit warmer, nobler Kraft und dichtem Kern hat großes Potenzial für eine mehrjährige Lagerung.
Winery
The Jurtschitsch winery, situated in Langenlois, is one of the most prestigious wineries in Austria which impeccably displays Austrian wine culture at its best.
Alwin and Stefanie Jurtschitsch having been leading the family estate for some time now and have managed to reinterpret premium wine in their own way. For the two of them this means vinifying authentic, complex and terroir-specific wines with cool, elegant stylistics - in other words, permitting the different appellations in Langenlois to express themselves individually.
