Wine Description

Deep red-violet color, bouquet of cherries and red berries, nougat and chocolate, with soft tannins and a subtle spiciness. A wine that invites another sip. Best enjoyed slightly chilled. Overall, an intriguing representative of the Zweigelt variety from the Kamptal.

Tasting Notes

Karl Steininger: Cherry-red in the glass, with typical cherry aromas on the nose. Noticeably clear, precise, and dry on the palate, with very little tannin—beautifully integrated. Velvety and fruity on the entry. 17/20 points

Food Pairing

This wine pairs perfectly with dark meats, traditional barbecue, and steak, as well as with cheese and dark chocolate.

The vintage 2015

First a hot, then a warm summer—dry at the start, with timely rainfall before the harvest, followed by a stable autumn. These are the hallmarks of a great and powerful vintage, promising full ripeness for the red wines.
