Markowitsch Pinot Noir 2022 13% Vol. 0,75l

The Markowitsch winery in Goettelsbrunn, Austria, is one of the country's top wine estates. Founded several decades ago, it has developed from a small family business into a leading winery. Located in the Carnuntum region, it benefits from an ideal climate with hot summers and cold winters. The diverse soils offer the best conditions for growing grape varieties such as Zweigelt, Blaufraenkisch, St. Laurent, Gruener Veltliner and Chardonnay.

Sustainability is a central concern of the winery. It relies on environmentally friendly methods, does not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides and uses renewable energy. Harvesting is done by hand to guarantee the quality of the grapes. Vinification combines traditional and modern techniques, with the wines maturing in steel tanks and wooden barrels.

Markowitsch Pinot Noir is a red wine made entirely from Pinot Noir grapes. The grapes are harvested manually at the end of September to ensure optimum ripeness and quality. Mash fermentation of the wine takes place in steel tanks at a temperature of 27-29°C, followed by malolactic fermentation in barriques.

The wine is matured in used French oak barriques, which give it subtle woody notes while retaining the characteristic aromas of Pinot Noir. Markowitsch Pinot Noir is ready to drink between 2023 and 2029 and is sealed with a natural cork to preserve its quality over the years.
