Description

Weinhof Szemes Zero Gravity 2023

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Blaufrankisch from Eisenberg in southern Burgenland, Austria. The fruit is grown on slate, clay & rocky brown gravel.

Taste Profile: Youthful, light red color, with a bright nose of citrus & light berries, sour cherry on the palate, lively drinking flow, refreshing acidity on the palate, long-lasting finish with elegant style, mineral with herbs. The slate soil and primary rock on the Eisenberg give the wine minerality and elegance.

Winemaking Process: Blaufränkisch on Welschriesling mash. The wine ferments in 500-liter wooden barrels. After fermentation, it ages on the lees for 6-8 months before being bottled while still fruity and fresh

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
