Mariell Zweigelt Fölligberg · Austria · 2015
The Moment
This is the bottle you open when you want something soulful, quietly impressive, and just a little unexpected.
A beautifully aged Austrian red that feels Old World in the best way — layered fruit, gentle spice, and a mineral backbone that keeps every sip interesting.
Perfect for slower evenings, good food, and conversations that linger.
Tasting Profile
The nose opens with dark cherry, blackberry, and ripe plum layered with black pepper, licorice, and a subtle forest-floor earthiness that comes with time in bottle.
On the palate, the wine is structured yet polished. Juicy dark fruit meets savory spice and a stony mineral edge from the limestone and slate soils of the Fölligberg vineyard.
Tannins have softened beautifully with age, giving the wine a silky, balanced texture while still holding a gentle grip through the finish.
The finish is long, savory, and quietly complex — the kind that keeps you coming back for another sip.
Why We Love This Bottle
This is a reminder that great wine doesn’t have to shout.
It can simply show up balanced, expressive, and ready to share.
A mature Austrian red that feels both comforting and intriguing — perfect for curious drinkers and Old World lovers alike.
