Tasting notes
Bursting with red cherry, juicy plum and ripe berry flavours. Medium-bodied with silky tannins, subtle spice and a fresh, fruit-forward finish.
Producer profile
Funkstille – meaning "radio silence" – showcases modern Austrian winemaking with bold style and eye-catching design. Produced in Niederösterreich by a 16th-generation family estate, the range highlights Austria's classic grape varieties with character and freshness.
Viticulture and winemaking
Zweigelt grapes are sourced from selected south-facing vineyards and harvested in mid-October. After cold soaking, fermentation includes gentle pump-overs and extended skin contact. The wine is aged mainly in large, seasoned oak vats, with a small proportion in older barriques for added depth.
Food pairing
Great with roasted duck, pork dishes and barbecue fare.
