Salzl Cuvee Classic Rot 2023 14% Vol. 0,75l

The Salzl Cuvee Classic Red 2023 is an expressive, versatile red wine from Burgenland that skillfully combines drinking pleasure, structure and origin. The Salzl Seewinkelhof winery is known for precisely vinified wines with a clear style, and this cuvee is a classic representative of the estate. The composition of Zweigelt, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon combines fruit emphasis, spice and depth to create a harmonious overall picture. The vines grow on brown earth soils of sandy loam with a high gravel content, which gives the wine a juicy structure and a fine mineral tension. With an alcohol content of 14%, the 2023 vintage is powerful, balanced and elegant at the same time.

Vinification is carried out using traditional mash fermentation in steel tanks at 30 °C with a maceration period of 14 days and subsequent malolactic fermentation, which specifically builds up density and balance. The wine is matured predominantly in steel tanks, supplemented by a part in small oak barrels with four barrels, which lends structure and depth without dominating the fruit. The recommended drinking age ranges from 2025 to 2032, with optimal storage. Served at a drinking temperature of 16 to 18 °C, this Salzl Cuvee Classic Red is particularly balanced and animating.
