Description
Meinklang Österreich "Roter Mulatschak" 2021
Meinklang Österreich "Roter Mulatschak" 2021 is filled with juicy cherry and pomegranate fruit flavours and a peppery spiciness. There's a tiny bit of fizz and low amounts of tannins so you can drink it chilled.
Top Tip: Drink it chilled at 12°C.
Blend of Zweigelt and Saint Laurent. The vines grow freely (no pruning) in mineral-rich volcanic soils in Meinklang's certified biodynamic vineyards. The vineyards are located in Pamhagen, Austria. Pamhagen is in the middle of the (World Heritage Site) National Park Neusiedlersee, on the Eastern side of the Neusiedlersee Lake, bordering directly on the Hungarian lowlands. The vineyards are fertilised with compost produced on the farm using sheep, cow and horse manure, pomace, green waste and occasionally also rock dust.
One week spontaneous co-fermentation in stainless steel tanks using low-intervention methods. The wine ages for 4 months in stainless steel tanks sur lie. No fining or filtering before bottling.
Ageing potential: Up to 3 years.
