A vibrantly fruity, organically produced, red wine from this characterful indigenous Austrian grape variety.
Fruity and perfumed nose showing blackberries, white pepper and spice. Bright sappy palate with fresh acidity, crunchy redcurrant and raspberry fruit, and layers of spice, liquorice and herbs.
Blauer Zweigelt is the most important red grape variety grown on Sepp Moser's Apetlon Estate, situated in the Neusiedlersee region of Austria. The summers in this region are very hot and dry; the vineyards are less than 1 km away from the Hungarian border.
The deep, dark humous soils (well streaked with gravel) contribute to the smoothness of the wines produced here. The grapes are organically produced and hand harvested in September. All Sepp Moser wines are vinified centrally at the Sepp Moser Winery in Rohrendorf (Kremstal).
The grapes in Sepp Zweigelt were de-stemmed, crushed and underwent partial cold maceration. The must was then fermented and given a brief period of ageing in stainless steel before being bottled in February.
Founded by the Austrian wine pioneer, Lenz Moser, passed to his son Sepp in 1987, and handed to his son Nikolaus in 2000.
The estate covers 50 acres in Kremstal and Neusiedlersee. In Kremstal, Nikolaus produces an international range of grapes, plus Gruner Veltliner and Riesling. The reds are produced on gravelly soils in the Neusiederslee village of Apetlon. All the wines have been organic (and all estate wines biodynamic) since 2007.
