Umathum Haideboden Cuvee 2022 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 grapes for the Umathum Haideboden Cuvee grow on quartz-rich pebbly soil, which gives the wine its characteristic minerality. After gentle fermentation, the wine is stored unfiltered for two winters in small oak barrels to develop its complex aromas. The wine is bottled and sealed with a natural cork, which preserves its authentic taste and allows it to be stored for up to 20 years.
