This beautiful vintage is a blend of the Austrian Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch grape varieties as well as our national Pinot Noir . The red Hausmarke from Domaine Moric is pure but deep; perfectly ripe and intense with notes of spices , pepper , plum compote, red flowers and ripe black fruits such as black cherry or blackcurrant . Pure and intense on the palate, it is a refreshing red wine, silky, juicy, and showing good length which recalls the finesse of Burgundy red wines.

Where are we traveling?

Burgenland Burgenland is the second largest wine-growing region in Austria. This territory is itself divided into four wine-growing areas: Mittelburgenland, Südburgenland, Neusiedler See and Neusiedler See-Hügelland. The region extends along the Hungarian border, just across which the Tokaji River is located. This territory benefits from ideal conditions for growing vines, notably thanks to favorable soil and a warm climate, characteristic of the Pannonian plain. Added to this is Lake Neusiedl, which acts as a heat collector and regulator of air humidity. The sub-region: Mittleburgenland Mittleburgenland, which is a sub-region of Burgenland, is located south of Lake Neusiedl close to the Hungarian border. It is predominantly a region of red grape varieties where Blaufränkisch accounts for 55% of the grape varieties which cover 2104 hectares. Mittelburgenland is also colloquially called “blaufränkischland” because of the omnipresence of the grape variety in this part of the country. Sheltered by mountains and hills on three sides, the east of the region is open to the hot, dry winds of the Pannonian Plain which combine with the generally water-rich soils to provide ideal growing conditions.

The little history of the country

Austria

product descriptions logo

For more than ten years, Austrian viticulture has made an enormous leap in terms of wine quality. Today, Austrian winemakers no longer produce cheap wines for mass consumption, but refined and complex wines. Austria produces 65% white wines. From a fairly global point of view, Austrian wines are more powerful and richer than those of its German neighbor. The great national grape variety and the most widely planted is Grüner Veltliner (native white grape variety). Red wine production continues to increase in volume, intensity and quality. Especially in Burgenland, producers make the most of an original grape variety combining local (Blaufränkish, Saint-Laurent, Zweigelt) and French (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir) grape varieties. Austria's climate is predominantly continental with cold winters and warm summers. The country is subject to 4 main influences. To the east, continental influences coming from Pannonia, to the west Atlantic influences but also cold winds coming from the north and to the south Mediterranean influences. The Danube, which meanders languorously through many vineyards, brings numerous microclimates to the vineyards.
