Description

Weingut Esterhazy Sankt Georgen Zweigelt 2020

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Zweigelt from Saint Georgen, in Leithaberg, Burgenland. The vines are up to 24 years old, grown on sandly loam soils with a limestone bedrock

Taste Profile: With its dark ruby ​​red and violet reflections, the wine is already very lively in the glass. The nose also continues this image. The dark aromas reminiscent of plums, black cherries and cassis are very present in the center. Only well behind are notes of dark chocolate, tobacco and dried herbs. The extremely great juiciness is immediately noticeable on the palate. The tannins are ripe and soft and support the wine quite subtly. It is again the abundance of dark fruit flavors that impresses. The use of wood is skilfully reserved and noble in its aroma. In the complex aftertaste, the white pepper typical of the variety finally comes into its own, which harmonizes perfectly with the dark slate minerals.

Winemaking Process: Hand-picked and feremented for 18 days on the mash, followed by  spontaneous fermentation and BSA. It is then aged for 16 months in 500L wooden barrels (tonneaux) and a further 6 months bottle aging after filling
