The
Vineyard
In addition
to using the best cellar technologies, they emphasize the work
in the vineyards and the soils. Prime south- and
south-west-facing hillsides and the loam soil ideally suited
for wine growing are the basic conditions for high quality.
They own and cultivate 22 hectares of vineyards and cooperate
additionally with several partners who are cultivating grapes
according to their quality targets. They buy grapes from 25
hectares of vineyards.
Grüner
Veltliner is the most widely planted grape variety in Austria,
accounting for 37% of the country's total vineyard area, about
50,875 acres. Most of these vines are in the large wine region
known as Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), along the Danube
River, north of Vienna. It also grows in a few other Eastern
European countries, such as Slovakia, Yugoslavia and the Czech
Republic, but the variety is most closely associated with
Austria, where it has been cultivated since Roman times.
Grüner Veltliner is the indigenous variety of Austria.

2009 Hugl, Zweigelt, Classic
12/1.0
L
Despite its
relative youth, Zweigelt is actually an Austrian classic. This
variety was created in 1922, when Dr. Fritz Zweigelt crossed two
grapes - St Laurent and Blaufränkisch. Originally, it was
intended for the new variety to be called Rotburger, referring
to the place where it was born, Klosterneuburg. But this name
never took hold, and instead, Zweigelt was named after the man
who was the key in its development.
Today, Zweigelt is the most widely planted red variety in
Austria, growing in nearly 9% of this country's vineyards. It is
a robust grape, highly resistant to dryness, frost and various
diseases.
The wine boasts a concentrated color, fruity and spicy aromas,
cherry flavors. Full-bodied, smooth and round, the wine is an
ideal food companion.

"The 1-liter bottle makes this simple charmer a
great wine for parties. In weight and texture, it suggests
Beaujolais, but the flavors skew more toward earthy than fruity."
