Description

The Pittnauer Pitti Blend brings together Zweigelt, a grape created in 1922 in Austria, with its parent Blaufrankisch, and a dash of Merlot, in this rich and satisfying wine.

The Pitti is described by the Pittnauers as 'carefree, inviting, fresh and fruity, juicy and dynamic', and we can't help but agree. While it looks dark and brooding in colour, its fruit notes are vibrant and fresh, with blackberry, smoke and liquorice underscored by some nice tannin grip.

The combination of Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch give the wine its fruitiness and spice, with the Merlot giving it some palate weight. A lovely wine at a lovely price.

All vineyards are cultivated either organically or biodynamically – not all by ourselves, but all according to our principles. The picking dates, vinification of the different batches, élevage and assemblage is entirely our responsibility. In short, this means that crisp but perfectly ripe grapes are harvested relatively early and then fermented spontaneously, the maceration is not too long and the maturation takes place in large, used wooden barrels.

Pitti is carefree, inviting, fresh and fruity, juicy and dynamic. Red berries, cherries and a fine spice characterise the aroma profile. The texture is juicy and compact, the acidity and tannin are in balance and give the Pitti temperament, balance and energy al the way through. It also uplifting on the finish with good fruit and vitality.

Gerhard and Brigitte Pittnauer's wines are simply some of the best coming out of the Burgenland region, at the eastern edge of Austria, highlighting the beauty of local varieties Blaufrankisch, St-Laurent and Zweigelt, as well as excellent Pinot Noir.

Their red wines of brightness and insane drinkability have seen him garner many accolades in recent times, including 2014 Winemaker of the Year by Falstaff magazine, the top winemaker award in Austria.
