Vinification of Cabernet Sauvignon von Spätburgunder von Zweigelt

The Cabernet Sauvignon von Spätburgunder von Zweigelt is cultivated in the renowned Neusiedler See area of Burgenland. The vines thrive on calcareous soils in a balanced climate characterized by mild temperatures and sufficient sunny days. This ensures even ripening of the grapes while preserving the freshness of the fruit. The winemakers at Weingut Scheiblhofer pay attention to gentle handling of the plants in order to ensure sustainable quality.

The grapes are handpicked at the optimal time of ripeness so that only fully ripe grapes reach the cellar. After careful selection, the berries are gently destemmed and brought to fermentation. Maceration takes place with temperature-controlled methods between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius to extract typical aromas and color without harshness.

During fermentation, regular checks are carried out to preserve the aroma of chocolate, black cherry and tobacco. The wine then matures in small barriques made of French oak, which give it additional depth, velvety texture and complex roasted aromas. The maturation lasts several months, during which the tannins integrate harmoniously. Finally, the wine is bottled, preserving its distinctive nuance and full-bodied character.
