Hans Herzog
Zweigelt 2021 750ml
Intriguing. Distinctive. Rare. A beautifully structured Austrian red with spice, elegance and power.
Vintage 2021
The 2021 vintage, our smallest yet, is of exceptional quality. A cool spring limited fruit set, followed by a hot, dry summer that further reduced yields, resulting in an early harvest of intensely aromatic, concentrated grapes
Hans Winemarkers comments
A meticulous cold soak extracted colour, texture, and aromatic purity from pristine skins, followed by a slow, cool fermentation with indigenous wild yeasts to preserve finesse and complexity. After gentle pressing, the wine was transferred to a French oak barrique, where it underwent natural malolactic fermentation and matured for 30 months, building depth and seamless structure. Extended bottle ageing further refines its balance and expression. Unfined. Unfiltered. Nothing added, nothing taken away. Natural. Vegan.
James Suckling, 94/100!
“So transparent, showing flowers and perfumes as well as minerals on the nose. Watermelon too. The palate is firm and linear with a tight and vivid finish. Racy at the end..” Nov 10, 2024
Tasting Notes
The vitality and exuberance of its aromas captivate well before the first sip. Intense ripe blackcurrant and plum, interwoven with Szechuan pepper, cloves, and a whisper of nutmeg. This powerhouse is remarkably poised, vibrant acidity, a deep core of dark fruit, and firm, fine-grained tannins deliver structure without austerity. Dark, brooding, and savoury, yet lifted by a refreshing brightness on the long finish. A wine built to evolve, gracefully mellowing with age.
