From the vibrant heart of the IGP Mitterberg, the Marinushof 2021 is a bold and contemporary expression of the Zwiegelt grape, an Austrian varietal that has found a perfect habitat in the unique soil of this region. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this still red wine is presented in an elegant glass with a deep ruby color, featuring violet reflections that capture the light and promise an unforgettable sensory journey.
On the nose, the Marinushof 2021 opens with an enveloping bouquet of fresh berries, particularly cherries and currants, expertly complemented by spicy notes of black pepper and a subtle hint of vanilla imparted by the oak aging. On the palate, this wine reveals a balanced structure, with silky tannins that wrap around the mouth, while a lively freshness accompanies each sip, creating a long and persistent finish that invites another.
This versatile red pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, such as a succulent grilled beef steak or a roasted lamb, but it is equally sublime with a selection of aged cheeses. The Marinushof 2021 is not just a wine; it is an invitation to explore the beauty of Austrian wines and to discover the winemaking tradition that blends seamlessly with innovation in every bottle. An ode to the terroir of Mitterberg and the passion of its producers, it is a perfect companion for any occasion.
