What it tastes like

Juicy red cherries, ripe damson, and a burst of pomegranate, lifted by floral notes of violet and a hint of violets. Light-bodied, fresh, and vibrant with sappy acidity and minimal tannins, finishing with a touch of spice.

The grape

Zweigelt

Best known in Austria

Austria's most planted red grape, a cross of Blaufränkisch and Sankt Laurent. Soft and juicy, with cherry fruit and a peppery note. Easy to drink and very good served slightly chilled, especially with charcuterie on a warm evening.

The story behind it

Crafted by Mags Janjo of MJ Wine Cellars, this wine is part of the 'Mama' range, showcasing a modern take on Austrian Zweigelt. The grapes undergo 12 days of carbonic maceration, followed by gentle pressing and fermentation in old barrels. The result is an unfined, unfiltered wine that captures the essence of the grape and the vineyard.

If you like these, you'll love this: Beaujolais Nouveau, Gamay, or other light, fruity reds with a fresh profile. Ideal for fans of natural wines and those seeking something a bit different.
