Winkler-Hermaden Olivin 2019 14% Vol. 0,75l

The Winkler-Hermaden winery, idyllically situated on the Kapfensteiner Kogel in south-eastern Styria, extends over 40 hectares of vineyards. Georg Winkler-Hermaden took over management from his father Burkhardt in 1977, expanding the estate from its original 4 to 38 hectares. Since 1986, he has run the winery together with his wife Margot. In 2009, the entire agricultural area was converted to organic farming, which increased biodiversity and improved wine quality. In addition, the 80 hectares of family-owned forest have provided enough oak wood for 30 years to age the wine in wooden barrels.

The Winkler-Hermaden winery produces the "Olivin" wine from the Zweigelt grape variety. This wine undergoes an ageing process of 24 months in barriques made from Kapfenstein oak. It is grown on lime-free loose sediment brown earth, which brings specific characteristics to the wine. The "Olivin" is bottled with a modern glass closure, which preserves the quality and freshness of the wine in the long term.
