‘MAMA’ Zweigelt ‘Carbonique’ 2024
A perfectly fresh, sappy and juicy Zweigelt showing pretty purple fruits and a wonderful, floral, aromatic freshness, finishing with light soft tannins and zippy acidity.
£25.99
The ‘MAMA’ Zweigelt is the product of hand-harvested grapes from a single, specific plot – chosen for the aromatic profile and freshness of the grapes produced, with 14 days’ carbonic maceration on whole clusters. The wine is then gently pressed over several days into old 228 litre barrels, where it was allowed to ferment fully to dryness, and where it spends the next six months. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered, and the result is a juicy, low-tannin red bursting with sappy acidity, wild red cherry, and damson aromas. This would be excellent with chargrilled vegetables and lightly seasoned duck.
