Description
The Salzl Grande Cuvee Josanna 2021 is a prime example of the fine art of red wine cuvee in Burgenland. It comes from the renowned Salzl Seewinkelhof winery, which is based in Illmitz on the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl. For generations, the family winery has stood for powerful, terroir-driven red wines with an international style and Austrian soul. The cuvee combines the Zweigelt, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cabernet Franc varieties – an exceptionally harmonious composition that combines depth, fruity richness and spice.
The vines grow on particularly complex soils: loess-like Tschernosem with a high gravel content, Paratschernosem with gravel-rich sand and pure sandy soil – perfect conditions for structured and mineral red wines. Traditional mash fermentation in steel tanks at around 30 °C with a maceration period of 14 days, followed by malolactic fermentation, forms the basis for a powerful, dense wine with great balance. The cuvee then matures for 12 months in small oak barrels, which gives it depth, elegance and a hint of precious wood spice. The wine is sealed with natural cork and has considerable ageing potential until 2033.
