Umathum Haideboden Cuvee 2020 13% Vol. 0,75l

The Umathum winery is located in Burgenland on Lake Neusiedl. In addition to authentic red wines, the winery also produces exciting white wines. However, over 85% of the more than 33 hectares of vineyards are reserved for red wine. Very important and well-known hillside vineyards are Haideboden, Vom Stein, Kirschgarten and Ried Hallebuehl. All the vineyards are located around Lake Neusiedl. The single-vineyard wines only leave the winery after a 3-year storage period and are offered for sale.

Haideboden, originally spelled with an "A", covers the area around the pilgrimage site of Frauenkirchen. The name Haideboden was first used for this wine in 1991. The grapes for the cuvee come from vineyards west of Frauenkirchen and consist of the Zweigelt, Blaufraenkisch and Cabernet Franc varieties.

The Haideboden vines thrive on quartz-containing pebbles. Between the vines there is a rich variety of flowering plants and insects as well as peach, cherry and almond trees. This biodiversity is of great importance to the Umathum winery, as it contributes to the health of the vineyards and the quality of the grapes.

After fermentation, the red wine is stored unfiltered for two winters in small oak barrels, which preserves the natural aromas and structure of the wine. The wine is then bottled and sealed with a natural cork.

Haideboden Cuvee has a storage potential of 15-20 years and is characterized by its impressive longevity and depth.
