Discover the grape variety: Zweigelt
Supple and fruity reds with a vivid ruby colour, soft tannins and snappy acidity, with aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, red plum and gentle spices. Made as easy-drinking young reds and as more structured, oak-aged cellar wines. The most planted red variety in Austria (Burgenland, Carnuntum, Neusiedlersee), created in 1922 by Friedrich Zweigelt in Klosterneuburg, a cross of saint laurent × blaufränkisch.

The wine region of Südoststeiermark
Styrian DAC of south-eastern Austria (renamed Vulkanland Steiermark): Sauvignon Blanc and Welschriesling are the signature white kings — chiselled signature profile with herbaceous and mineral notes, tropical fruit, citrus and wild herbs, lively acidity balancing aromatic complexity. Chardonnay (Morillon) and Muskateller complement. Volcanic soils, schists, gravels and limestone, continental climate with cool nights, three-tier classification (Gebiets-, Orts-, Riedenwein).
The wine region of Steirerland
Austrian Styria, the country's southernmost region around Graz down to the Slovenian border, vineyards on steep slopes up to 700 m, temperate southern climate. Signature Sauvignon Blanc as white king: lively and precise with notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, boxwood, elderflower and a mineral touch — mountain benchmark. Tense Welschriesling (green apple, citrus), ample Morillon (Chardonnay), floral Muskateller. Rustic Schilcher rosé from Blauer Wildbacher.
The word of the wine: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
