Red dry
Markowitsch Ried Rosenberg 1ÖTW Carnuntum 2021 is a high-class dry red wine from the Carnuntum region of Austria, produced from the prestigious 1ÖTW (Erste Lage) vineyard Rosenberg. The wine reflects not only the high craftsmanship of Weingut Markowitsch, but also the unique terroir of calcareous, sandy and gravelly soil, which is perfectly suited to noble red grape varieties.
The wine has an intense ruby color and a complex aroma, dominated by black cherries, black currants, spices, smoky and herbal notes. The taste reveals balanced acidity (5.8 g/l), firm but elegant tannins and a long, fruity-spicy aftertaste.
The grapes were hand-picked from late September to early October, in several stages, to ensure optimal ripeness. Fermentation took place spontaneously on the skins for 14–20 days, maintaining a temperature of 30–32°C, using wooden fermentation vessels. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 20 months in French oak barrels of various sizes.
Acidity: 5.8 g/l
Residual sugar: 0.9 g/l
Serve at 16–18 °C with red meat stews/steaks, game, grilled sausages, and mature cheeses.
This pulls you in with aromas of tea leaves, balsamic, licorice and dark cherry fruit, plus some toasty and spicy elements. Full-bodied yet elegant and agile, with polished and supple tannins. Dark and tarry minerality at the end. A blend of zweigelt, blaufrankisch and merlot. Try from 2024.
