Heidi Schröck & Söhne 'Rusterberg' Zweigelt 2022

The Heidi Schröck & Söhne Zweigelt Rusterberg is a red wine sourced from two small vineyard plots on the Ruster Berg, the hills surrounding the famous village of Rust. Austrian winegrowers refer to Zweigelt as ‘the fighter’ due to its hardy nature. However, this belies its sensitive, elegant character, particularly in the hands of Heidi Schröck. Viticulture is done sustainably, without the use of herbicides or insecticides and the growth of local plants as cover crop is encouraged. After pressing, the wine was put into large old oak barrels (up to 60 years old) for malolactic fermentation. Afterwards the wine was racked for a final time and went through gentle filtration before bottling. The wine is dark ruby red in colour, with aromas of raspberries and hints of cocoa. The palate has a juicy core of red cherry and plum, with smooth tannins.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
