The vineyard is around 117 metres above sea level (comparitively low), with deep dark topsoil and gravel beneath, which benefits from plenty of sunshine. The grapes are hand harvested towards the end of September \/ start of October. The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, with spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel and 3 weeks spent on the skins. The wine is aged for 18 months in used 225 litre oak barrels. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProducer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sepp Moser Estate was founded by the famous Austrian wine producing pioneer, Lenz Moser. Lenz Moser's son, Sepp Moser, began operating under his own name in 1987 and handed over the direction of this family-owned estate to his own son Nikolaus in the year 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sepp Moser Estate comprises of 50 acres of vineyards in two prominent wine regions; Kremstal (22 ha) and Neusiedlersee (28 ha). In the Kremstal, Nikolaus produces an international range of varieties as well as the ever more important local varieties of Gruner Veltliner and Riesling. The reds are produced on the gravelly soils of the warm southern Neusiederslee village of Apetlon. All Sepp Moser wines have been organic (and all estate wines biodynamic) since 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSustainability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sepp Moser estate produces a wide range of wines every year thanks to its vineyards in two diverse regions. There is one main aim in the cellar: the quality of the grapes shall be brought with as little influence as possible to the bottle. The grapes in the Sepp Moser vineyards are harvested by hand and at the cellar of the Atrium House Nikolaus Moser emphasizes gentle vinification and tries to interfere as little as possible with the process so that each wine can develop its own individual style. The fermentation starts spontaneously, and the maturing of the wine takes place on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2006, Nikolaus officially moved the estate to biodynamic viticulture – one of the first to do so in Austria – and became Demeter certified. 2009 saw the release of Sepp Moser’s first certified organic wines. Nikolaus is very keen to reduce the amount of copper and sulphur used in the vineyards, and this year saw a reduction of two thirds over what was sprayed previously. He composts all the estates' pomace and vine trimmings, and there is an ongoing effort to plant trees around the vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAccolades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2017 Vintage - Silver at the 2020 Sommelier Wine Awards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2015 Vintage - Gold at the 2018 Sommelier Wine Awards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 345.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eCultivar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e100% Blauer Zweigelt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eAustria\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 39.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\nAlcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 39.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n13.5% alc vol \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eUnits of Alcohol per Bottle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e10.1 units\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDrink over the next 8-10 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 39.2px;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 39.2px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVegetarian, Vegan, Organic, Biodynamic, Sustainable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eAllergen Information\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eContains sulphites\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 55.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 55.2px;\"\u003eFood Matches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 55.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"half\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy not try with pork dishes, goulash or ratatouille.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eBurgenland\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.6016%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eAppellation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.6641%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eBurgenland Qualitatswein Trocken\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boutinot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39269663998006,"sku":"OSM032","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/5118\/8278\/products\/9.SMZweigeltReserve.jpg?v=1621337233","url":"https:\/\/vinofandango.co.uk\/products\/2022-sepp-moser-zweigelt-reserve","provider":"Vino Fandango","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
