The wine region of Burgenland

Cradle of great Austrian reds. Signature Blaufränkisch: structured, spicy reds with black fruits (blackberry, black cherry), firm tannins and lively acidity, mineral profile. More supple Zweigelt on red fruit. Lively Welschriesling, peppery Grüner Veltliner, round Chardonnay whites.

The wine region of Weinland

Vast German-speaking region in north-eastern Switzerland, the country's largest production area. Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder): fine, fresh reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and sweet spices, silky tannins. Elegant, delicate style, often barrel-aged. Also light, floral Müller-Thurgau (Riesling-Sylvaner), lively, lemony native Räuschling, ample Pinot Gris.

The word of the wine: Extraction

All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
