Zweigelt can be considered as the leading variety
of our region. It forms the solid basis of our winery
and can also be considered as a classic what
concerns the topic of red wine. It scores with its
deep and dark fruit and at the same time with its
soft character. At the Heideboden, it finds those
profound, fertile chernozem soils, which are
required to let it ripen 100 % every year.
