Winemaking: Organic Zweigelt grapes were harvested by hand. A combination of whole bunches and de-stemmed grapes were pressed into stainless steel tanks for fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged for 4 months in tank. No filtration or fining and just a touch of sulphur on bottling.

This Wine: Natural red wine with a light body. Bright red fruit (berries and cherries!) and super fresh acidity make this a bargain bottle to chill in the fridge on a warm day. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Christina Netzl grew up on her parent's farm and was around winemaking from an early age. This was the most exciting element of her surroundings so she studied winemaking before beginning full time work in the vineyard in 2007. Six years later she was inspired to convert to organic farming and now produces wines with minimal intervention in the cellar.
