This bone-dry, fully fermented red wine made from Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch, Austria's two red grape varieties, is a prime example of a red wine for day-to-night drinking that perfectly conveys the dark, spicy terroir of the region, even though it is assembled from several varieties year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual labor in the vineyard, hand harvesting, \"Handgemenge\" (brawl) – this red wine represents the fun-loving, no-nonsense style of the wine and the sometimes rather rough drinking habits of the people of Southern Burgenland, which can seem unruly to outsiders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, it exudes a complex fruitiness of dark red and black berries, such as wild berries, blackberries, and blackcurrants, ripe black cherries, and tart blueberries, which meets a piquant herbal spice; some forest floor and leather are also present. On the palate, it is juicy, with noticeable tannins and lively acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWachter Wiesler – Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt grapes, hand-picked from mid-September to mid-October 2018, come 70% from iron-rich clay soils in Deutsch-Schützen and 30% from iron-rich greenschist in Eisenberg. Christoph Wachter manages the vineyards of Weingut Wachter-Wiesler organically-biologically, with a lot of manual labor and care. After harvesting, the grapes remain in wooden fermentation vats for 7-12 days at a maximum of 28°C, and are then gently pressed and spontaneously fermented with malolactic fermentation in tanks. Matured for one year in traditional, large wooden barrels (500-3000l). Unfined and unfiltered, bottled in spring 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRotes Handgemenge – a wine and its characteristics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Wine from Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing region Burgenland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape varieties Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12.0% Vol. Alcohol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.4 g\/l Acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.0 g\/l Residual sugar\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Weingut Wachter Wiesler","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":53073937727822,"sku":"014WWW0002","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/wachter-wiesler-rotes-handgemenge-2018.jpg?v=1751010908","url":"https:\/\/nurgutes.de\/en\/products\/wachter-wiesler-rotes-handgemenge-2018","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
