Winkler-Hermaden Olivin 2021 14% Vol. 0,75l

The Winkler-Hermaden Olivin 2021 14% vol. 0.75 l is a Zweigelt from Styria with a strong character and is one of the distinctive red wines from the traditional Winkler-Hermaden winery around Kapfenstein Castle. The name "Olivin" refers to the semi-precious stone of the same name, which occurs as a green crystal in the basalt rock of the Kapfensteiner Kogel and symbolically reflects the connection between earth, vine and wood. The grapes for this Austrian quality wine made from the Blauer Zweigelt grape variety come from various sites on the Kapfensteiner Kogel, whose volcanic soils give the wine structure and character.

The wine is matured dry and matures for 24 months in Kapfenstein oak barriques, whose wood comes from the same soils and climate of the region. This special origin characterizes the individual style of this Zweigelt red wine from south-eastern Styria. The wine is produced organically, is suitable for vegans and is sealed with an organic glass stopper. It was harvested from September 23 to 29, 2020 and bottled on May 25, 2023. With 14% alcohol by volume, a recommended serving temperature of 16-18 °C and a maturation potential of around 2027 to 2037, this 33rd vintage of Olivin presents itself as a powerful yet elegant red wine from Styria.
