Salzl Josanna Grande Cuvée 2018 13,5% Vol. 0,75l

Seewinkel, with its Pannonian climate, endless plains and numerous lakes, is one of the world's outstanding wine-growing regions, with 2000 hours of sunshine a year. Especially here, the Austrian Zweigelt grape matures into a massive, plump wine with enormous potential.

Wonderful berry fruit concentration on the palate, balanced texture, full-bodied, rounded and juicy, plum and herbal spiciness, smooth tannins, espresso and vanilla, juicy ripe wild cherry, blackcurrant, mineral notes, some nougat and fine precious-wood spiciness in the finish, delicate notes of extract sweetness.
