Weinhof Szemes Zero Gravity 2023

From one of the makers of Arachon T.FX.T, Weinhof Szemes produces one of the top Blaufränkisch in Austria.

In 1984 Tibor took over the family business. Tibor Szemes, a charismatic personality with vision and contacts all over the world, recognized the excellent terroir and grape quality of Central Burgenland as early as the early 1980s. With Ing. Josef Pusch, the then cellar master of the Horitschon cooperative, Tibor Szemes initiated the step to become a négociant.

Tibor’s son, Oscar took the place of his parents, who both died far too young. Together with his sister Anna, he is now continuing the traditional business, while evolving it to focus on estate vineyards, as well as modernizing the wine portfolio that they represent

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Blaufrankisch from Eisenberg in southern Burgenland, Austria. The fruit is grown on slate, clay & rocky brown gravel. 

Taste Profile: Youthful, light red color, with a bright nose of citrus & light berries, sour cherry on the palate, lively drinking flow, refreshing acidity on the palate, long-lasting finish with elegant style, mineral with herbs. The slate soil and primary rock on the Eisenberg give the wine minerality and elegance.
