Philosophy

Alte Kleinen, the name means in ancient times nature wrested, the heavy calcareous loess soils of the vineyards above the picturesque Ketzelsdorfer Kellergasse are the ideal basis for fine-mineral wines.

Processing/expansion

This wine consists of 50% Zweigelt and 50% Merlot grapes that are harvested and selected separately in the vineyard by hand. The Zweigelt grapes are fermented as "Maceration Carbonique" to promote the fruity aroma. The Merlot grapes in the open mash tun. Both are pressed during fermentation and fermented to the end in used 500 liter oak barrels. After fermentation, a 6-month batonnage period follows.

Wine

A charismatic wine, beguiling and storable, with a lot of excitement and brilliant fruit, juicy velvety body, creamy but very fresh texture, with fine minerality.

Food accompaniment

Summer salads, cream cheese, sushi, pumpkin and wildfowl through to rabbits, or simply warm chestnuts in autumn.
