Pittnauer
The grapes are grown on black soils around Heideboden. The wine spends 12 months in stainless steel, for a blend that is all about drinking pleasure.
Pitti 2017 is a cuvée made out of the indigenous red wine varieties Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch, supported by the international grape Merlot. The fullness and juiciness comes from the Zweigelt, the spiciness from the Blaufränkisch and the structure from the Merlot.
It's dark ruby in colour, with purple tints. The attractive bouquet shows dark blackberry, nuances of tobacco and a bit of liquorice. The palate has tight tannins with black berries. It's complex with fresh acid structure and potential to develop nicely in the medium term. - Gerhard Pittnauer

Cranberry meets sarsaparilla meets cherry cola aromas. Crunchy textured, shows more of the cherry cola, cranberry juice flavours, crisp texture, ultra fresh feeling, good dusting of spice, peppery finish and corkscrew of tannins in tow. Great drinking here.

Juicy red and black cherry have the merest edge of tar on the nose. On the palate, however, it is the fresh juiciness that reigns. This is fresh, light, hedonistic and unpretentious. Honest, good and above all, this is fresh fruit-forward fun.
