Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Blaufrankisch & Zweigelt from Burgenland, Austria. The fruit comes from a plot of vineyards planted in calcareous gravel soil where biodynamic techniques are used so that each strain can express both the age and the character of the native Austrian varieties

Taste Profile: A light and fresh red wine, notable for its balance and complexity. On the nose, it presents notes of red cherry and raspberry, accompanied by a subtle mineral hint. On the palate, its fluid and smooth profile invites enjoyment, with an acidity that highlights its youthful character. With a bright red hue, it offers a refreshing and pleasant experience, ideal for those seeking an easy-to-drink wine with personality.

Winemaking Process: The fruit is partially destemmed. Then it macerates for 4 weeks and ferments with native yeasts in oak vats. After that, it ages for 11 months in oak barrels of 1000 and 1500 litres. The wine is not clarified or filtered and no sulphites are added
