The hills are alive with the sound of… Zweigelt!

Monday, September 19th, 2011


Run by young winemaker Stefan Pratsch and his parents Wilhelm and Anneliese, the Biohof Pratsch winery espouses the belief, that “organic wine is more than the omission of chemistry.” This holistic view of grape-growing means that Pratsch embraces its role as a steward of the land and cares not just about the making (and marketing) of its wine, but is deeply concerned about the health of soil it comes from. This philosophy expresses itself in every glass of their wine. Their unoaked Zweigelt possesses soft tannins, vibrant acidity and surprising length: these are a few of our favorite things.

Made from fruit sourced from 35-year-old vines cultivated at 300 meters above sea level, this food-friendly wine offers a fresh minerality with smoky notes typical of the löss soil found around the Fumberg vineyard site.
