Natty, Fun, Chillable - A Red For The Weekend

Wine friends,

With summer lurking just around the corner, our mind is set on crisp whites, zesty rosés, and acid-laden, chillable reds that promise to keep our thirsts quenched all month long.

This week, we're excited to share one of our favorite Austrian wines with you. Produced by Martin Arndorfer and Anna Steininger, this organic/biodynamic blend of Zweigelt (80%) and Pinot Noir (20%) is perfect for sipping at picnics, barbecues, and outdoor hangs.

Fun fact: Martin used to fake sick to stay home and hang in the vineyards with his Mom, and Anna is the daughter of world-renowned winemaker Karl Steininger, so it's only natural that the pair would end up making such tasty, terroir-focused wines.

In the glass, the wine pours a beautiful cherry red hue and exudes with high-toned aromatics of strawberries and a touch of cinnamon. The palate is tart, tangy, and laden with fresh flavors of cranberry, sour cherry, red jolly rancher, and cracked pepper. Bright acidity and light, near-absent tannins make this wine almost too easy to drink.

As great of a chillable red as this wine is, its complexity goes so much further than that. In addition to its meticulous vinification, Martin and Anna also ferment the juice on Sauvignon Blanc skins, adding to the texture and flavor spectrum of the wine.

Thirsty? Stop by this week to grab one (or a few) anytime. We'd love to see you in person.

Cheers!
