Bright, fresh and bursting with primary fruit, this juicy blend is all about vibrancy. Think crunchy red plum, tangy raspberry and wild berries, lifted by floral notes and a lively, mouthwatering zing. There's a subtle line of black pepper and spice in the background, adding a gentle kick beneath the fruit. Light on its feet, with soft tannins and pure, clean energy—an easy-drinking red that overdelivers on freshness and charm.

Vinification

Made from 80% Zweigelt and 20% Merlot grown biodynamically on loess and limestone soils in the Haidthal and Sonnberg vineyards. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted with care. The Zweigelt is destemmed and undergoes 4 days of spontaneous fermentation, extracting vivid colour and fine tannins. Merlot is partially whole-bunch fermented for 5 days, contributing lift, floral tones and a hint of spice. The wine is then aged for 16 months in a combination of large oak barrels and stainless steel, preserving freshness while adding subtle depth. Unfined, unfiltered and naturally expressive.
