Funkstille, Zweigelt

Niederösterreich | Austria

Abundant red cherry, plum and vibrant berry fruits combine in this joyful, bright and incredibly juicy red; medium-bodied with beautifully ripe and light tannins and touch of spice on the finish.

About the Producer

Now more than ever we need a little ‘Funkstille’ or radio silence in our lives. We’ve worked with a 16th generation producer in Niederösterreich to put together this characterful range. All work in the vineyard is carried out sustainably, with the use of their own fertilisers made from grape skins, manure and straw from their fields, to improve the soil structure and vitality of their vines. The south-east and south-west exposure of the slopes provides conditions for perfect ripening. Grapes are harvested in the early morning to harness acidity and pure fruit expression, and taken to their energy neutral winery for vinification.

Ageing

5 Months – French Oak + 5,000-8,000 litre barrels.

Food Pairing

This juicy wine works well with roasted duck and pork as well as around the barbecue.
