Carnuntum

Learn More About This Wine

The regional Carnuntum is made from 65% Blaufrankisch and 35% Syrah. 

No use of sulphur on the grapes which ferment with wild yeasts and macerate very softly in large wooden fermenters without using any mechanical tools. Grapes and must are neither heated nor cooled. During the wine’s two years of maturation, they make only one soutirage – for the rest of the time, the wine simply matures slowly. The result is an impressive wine, with seductive fruit, finesse and tempting acidity. It is a wine that sommeliers love to serve by the glass, as it evolves and improves the longer the bottle is open. 

The end of spring 2019 was cool and humid, which provided enough water to the soils for a long and very dry summer. Autumn, too, was dry and sunny, but the weather became chilly quite early. With all these ups and downs, in the end, the vintage brought ideal conditions for an outstanding vintage that shows complexity, density and elegant freshness at the same time.
