Ried ZIEREGG IZ RESERVE.
This wine represents the highest level of excellence, a different side of Ried Zieregg, which is unmistakable not only in the taste but also in the craftsmanship behind this wine. Each individual berry is selectively harvested and has over 100 days to store all the aromas and terroir information of its vine subcellularly. Fermentation begins particularly gently and slowly in the healthy berry skin. After these 100 days, the grapes are pressed and matured sulphur-free on the fine lees in neutral oak barrels for a further 42 months before being bottled unfiltered. This wine is characterized by the authentic expression of the Zieregg terroir, with remarkable precision, intensity and depth.
The Christkindl from Zieregg fulfills a truly special wish this year:

Ried Zieregg is an incredibly multi-faceted vineyard site characterized by limestone marl and coralline limestone soil. Due to the multi-layered terroir, we have divided the vineyard into 18 parcels in order to be able to work them selectively in their individuality. “IZ” stands for an “intercellular berry fermentation” process that we developed in 2005. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes for this wine come from the oldest parcels of the Ried Zieregg and combine to create an incomparable wine that reflects its terroir in its fullest intensity.

Wine Recommendations
All Wines-
Ried
WIELITSCH
Gewürztraminer
Single vineyard Wielitschberg provides perfect terroir for balanced and characteristic Traminer. Smoky minerality combined with a fine bouquet of blooming lilac and chocolate mint which excites a very dry palate with refreshing and lively aromas.

ZIEREGG XT
MAGNUMSauvignon Blanc
A part of the 2015 harvest from the historical part of single vineyard Zieregg remained in the barrel and has now been bottled after more than 8 years sur lie in big casks with the addition of ‘XT’. ‘XT’ stands for ‘Extra Time – Extra Terroir – Extra Tement’. In short: a wine that has matured to perfection for us.

It evolves, matures and changes over time.
Our Standards
Vision and Added Value
More than 15 years ago we started taking the first steps towards organic farming. We are now in the phase to convert to biodynamics. A logical step for us and a beginning without end. Every year we learn something new, observe nature and get closer to it bit by bit. We see our business as a form of modern circular economy in which wine is part of an overall concept. Partnerships with horse and cattle farmers have just as much space here as the use of the company’s own forest for energy production. Wine as a way of life.
