Vintage 2010

We picked our 2010 Zweigelt on the 10th of April at a very low yield of less than 1kg per vine This is Austria s most widely planted red grape variety created in 1922 by Dr Zweigelt from a crossing of the grape varieties St Laurent and Blaufrankisch

Hans’ Winemaking Comments

The Zweigelt spent 15 days on the skins progressing to a wild yeast fermentation before being pressed and transferred into French Barriques for a malolactic fermentation This seductive Austrian has been aged on its fine lees for 13 months No fining, no filtration

Tasting Notes

This Jeroboam 2010 is a dream come true A powerhouse of an Austrian red, rich and dark violet in colour with flavours of ripe berries, black pepper, spices with earthy undertones Aromas reminiscent of a basket of ripe stone fruits, damsons, elderberries and bitter dark chocolate A highly complex wine with great acidity, structure and velvety smooth tannins
