Deep Roots. Distinct Edge.
Description
🍷 Wine Description:
These vines have stories to tell – planted in 1968, they bring structure, elegance, and depth to every glass. SIXTY EIGHT isn’t your typical Zweigelt – it’s poised, precise, and quietly powerful. The nose is youthful yet refined: red berries, ripe cherries, subtle floral and herbal notes, and just a touch of pepper. On the palate: taut, juicy, polished – with ripe, fine tannins, a salty mineral backbone, and a savory, slightly smoky finish. A wine that’s alive, structured, and built with style.
🍽 Food Pairing – What goes well with it?
A structured red with finesse – built to complement, not dominate.
🦌 Refined wild & hearty pairings:
• Goose liver or game pâté – rich & structured
• Braised goose leg – deep, comforting, elevated
• Roasted lamb rack or slow-cooked lamb shoulder – mild or boldly spiced
• Wild boar steak or ragout – rustic meets refined
• Wild hare with savory sides – fine game cuisine
• Beef with mushroom sauce or spiced & grilled – a perfect balance
• Pasta al ragù – when red wine and pasta fall in love
🧀 Fancy a cheese moment?
• Aged hard cheese – bold, salty, and satisfying
