For this edition, a high-quality Blauer Zweigelt was selected from Weingut Hagn , a family-owned winery in Lower Austria known for generations for its flawless style and precision in the vineyard. The estate uses modern cellar techniques, yet respects tradition, always prioritizing freshness and terroir expression.
The wine comes from Austria, from Niederösterreich, where Weingut Hagn has been active for generations in the region around Mailberg.
- Region: Lower Austria, one of the most important wine regions of Austria.
- Climate: Continental climate with warm summers and cool nights, which produces ripe fruit and retains fresh acidity.
- Soil: Calcareous and loess-rich soils that contribute to elegance and fine structure.
The combination of warm days and cooling nights gives Blauer Zweigelt its characteristic balance between fruit and freshness.
The vinification is focused on fruit expression and drinkability.
- Fermentation: Temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the fresh red fruit.
- Maturation: Maturation in stainless steel tanks to keep the pure character of the grape central.
By not adding a dominant wood influence, the wine remains light-footed and accessible, exactly as intended with this style.
