WINE DESCRIPTION
Wieninger Wiener Trilogie is a testament to Vienna's winemaking excellence, sourced from the prestigious Bisamberg vineyards. The terroir, characterized by sandy loess over limestone, benefits from ample sunlight, steady winds, and optimal drainage, creating an exceptional site for red wine. This blend, composed of Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, unfolds a symphony of flavors. Harvested at different times, each grape variety undergoes fermentation in large wooden casks or steel tanks, followed by maturation in barriques for around 20 months. The result is Wiener Trilogie, a harmonious and complex red wine reflecting Vienna's winemaking heritage.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Wieninger Wiener Trilogie is a delightful wine that offers the unique terroir of Vienna, Austria.This wine is a blend of three traditional Austrian grape varieties: Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, and Chardonnay.
On the nose, the Wieninger Wiener Trilogie offers enticing aromas of ripe stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, along with hints of citrus and floral notes. The palate is equally impressive, with a harmonious balance of fruitiness and acidity. The flavors of orchard fruits are complemented by zesty lemon and lime, creating a refreshing and vibrant taste profile.
The wine's medium body and crisp acidity make it a versatile choice for food pairing. It pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, such as grilled prawns or pan-seared scallops. Additionally, its vibrant acidity can cut through rich and creamy sauces, making it an excellent match for poultry or veal dishes.
The Wieninger Wiener Trilogie is a well-crafted wine that exemplifies the quality and character of Vienna's winemaking tradition. Its elegant flavors and refreshing acidity make it a delightful choice for both casual sipping and special occasions.
