Sepp Moser ‘Classic’ Zweigelt
Add to favouritesThe Sepp Moser Estate was founded by the famous Austrian wine producing pioneer, Lenz Moser. Lenz Moser’s son, Sepp Moser, began operating under his own name in 1987, and handed over the direction of this family-owned estate to his own son Nikolaus in the year 2000.
The Sepp Moser Estate comprises of 50 acres of vineyards in two prominent wine regions; Kremstal (22 ha) and Neusiedlersee (28 ha). In the Kremstal, Nikolaus produces an international range of varieties as well as the ever more important local varieties of Gruner Veltliner and Riesling. The reds are produced on the gravelly soils of the warm southern Neusiederslee village of Apetlon. All Sepp Moser wines have been organic (and all estate wines biodynamic) since 2007.
Blauer Zweigelt or just Zweigelt is the most important red grape variety grown on Sepp Moser’s Apetlon Estate, situated in the Neusiedlersee region of Austria. The summers in this region are very hot and dry and together with the deep, dark humus soils contribute to the smoothness of the wines produced here. The grapes are organically produced and hand harvested in September, de-stemmed and crushed and then after fermentation given a brief period of ageing in stainless steel.
Fruity and perfumed nose showing blackberries, white pepper and spice. Bright sappy palate with fresh acidity, crunchy redcurrant and raspberry fruit, and layers of spice, liquorice and herbs. This is a wine to try with veal or fish, as well as pizza and pasta with tomato based sauces. And it’s also very pleasant drunk on its own slightly chilled.
