Cellar
The wine is a cuvée of Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. After the separate harvest, the berries are cold-macerated for 2 days. The mash is then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and kept in motion by means of pump-overs. Towards the end of fermentation, pressing is carried out and the wine is partly stored in used barrels made of Leithaberg oak. After the final cuvée has been assembled, the wine is aged in stainless-steel tanks for an additional 3 months.

Tasting Notes
The wine is medium-bodied and presents aromas of cassis, plum and chocolate. The fruity character is supported by noticeable but fine tannins and mild acidity. It is an ideal accompaniment to stewed or grilled meats and mixed cheese platters.
