NV Franz Strohmeier, TLZ 'Rot No.11' Steiermark, Austria
$54.00
Grapes (no. 11): Zweigelt and Blauer Wildbacher
Vineyard: Bad Gams. Gneiss with big iron- and silicon content
Making of: the grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected in the vineyard. Spontaneously fermented for 4 weeks, gently pressed and then matured for 24 months in neutral barrels (used 225-liter, 500-liter, 300-liter) before bottling. Unfiltered, unfined, zero sulfur added.
Personality: electrifying and endless! Lots of energy, beautiful mouthfeel and wild fruit flavor that go on and on and on. Great potential, too.
