  • alcohol 13.9%vol
  • residual sugar 1.0g/l

Ried Kirchweingarten is where we grow our most radiant Zweigelt, on about 1.2 hectares. This is a slightly sloping, southwesterly exposed hillside at some 180 metres above sea level, situated directly below the church in Höflein. The soil here has a markedly greater proportion of clay than our other sites. This gives the Zweigelt a particularly robust quality, refreshing acidity, a firm structure and a charming but precise character of expression. mehr Info
