2023 Diwald Zweigelt vom Löss BIO

Zweigelt from the Loess soil is often a fruity, light red wine, but that's not the case with this Diwald Zweigelt vom Löss. The grapes are partially harvested in the summer. In addition, the juice is also drained for their rosé (saigné method). This makes the wine significantly riper, concentrated, but never overpowering. Delightfully aromatic, with ripe blackberries, some plums, and a hint of licorice. All of this is beautifully reflected in the flavor, with beautiful concentration and a soft, smooth finish. Matured in old acacia wood barrels for added roundness, and naturally with low intervention during fermentation, this wine is truly a Natural wine.

ABOUT DIWALD

Martin Diwald does things differently than many of his colleagues at his organic winery in the Wagram region. The company is one of Austria's organic pioneers and has been cultivating organic viticulture since 1976. Back then, Martin's parents were ridiculed – today, they are among the wineries with the most organic experience. The former 4 hectares have now grown into 20 hectares of vineyard area. The portfolio of their signature wines from their own origins focuses on Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, with gentle wine pressing and 100% spontaneous fermentation being popular in the cellar. "With spontaneous fermentation, the wines become much more complex in type and more typical of the varietal, because more diverse yeast flora is involved," explains Martin Diwald........
