About this Wine

In viticulture it is sometimes not different than in politics: labour at the grassroots level is crucial. Pittnauer Zweigelt Heideboden might not have the same charisma as the St. Laurent Rosenberg – yet, for getting a crisp, inviting, wholesome and distinct wine into the bottle, attention and diligence are required. The wine-growers who cultivate the vines at the Heideboden are working according to the regulations of organic viticulture; they harvest manually and yield perfectly ripe and healthy grapes.

The intention behind the Zweigelt Heideboden is twofold: on the one hand we want to capture the terroir, the warmth of the Pannonian climate and the sandy soils of Lake Neusiedl which tend to give the wine an unmistakable lightness; on the other hand, we try to unfold the subtle, precise and delicate side of the grape variety.

The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards the wine was aged on the lees in used barrels for half a year.

About Austrian Wine

Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn't seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it's wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time.

Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.

In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
