ABOUT THIS WINE
The Domaene Gobelsburg Zweigelt 2021 is a red wine from Schloss Gobelsburg in the Kamptal region of Niederösterreich, Austria. Made from 100% Zweigelt, the wine is noted for its elegant character, drawing parallels to Pinot Noir. The estate, Schloss Gobelsburg, has a historical winemaking tradition dating back to the 12th century, now managed by Michael and Eva Moosbrugger with a focus on sustainable practices and Burgundy varietals. The vineyards are situated on alluvial gravels and loess soils, benefiting from the cool climate influences of the Austrian Danube wine area, particularly evident in the 2021 vintage.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Domaene Gobelsburg Zweigelt undergoes fermentation in open tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in large Austrian Manhartsberg oak vats, typically 50-hectoliter capacity. This aging process contributes to the wine's structure and texture. Harvest for this vintage took place in October. The estate employs sustainable farming practices in its viticulture.
