Profile & Story

Christina Netzl grew up working her family's farm in Gottlesbrunn from age five and took the reins of the family winery, Weingut Franz & Christine Netzl, in the Carnuntum region east of Vienna, converting it fully to organic viticulture by 2013. Her Zweigelt is 100% varietal, hand-harvested and destemmed, fermented slowly and spontaneously in stainless steel, then finishes malolactic fermentation in old oak vats where it rests for four months before being bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with minimal added sulfur.

Tasting Notes

A light, chillable red bursting with juicy cherry and red berry fruit, soft silky tannins, and a fresh, easy-drinking finish. Restaurant's Notes: Zweigelt grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed to stainless steel tanks. The spontaneous fermentation is slow due to the cool temperatures in the old cellar. Malolactic fermentation takes place in old big oak vats, where the wine rests for another 4 months. Light red with purple glints, juice cherry aromas in the nose, red berries, soft and silky tannins, and fresh finish, this is one tasty addition. Serve lightly chilled
