2018 | Vorspannhof Mayr | Zweigelt 1L

Seductively fruity and juicy in the nose – ripe cherries, red mulberries, with a certain kick of spiciness. On the palate the fruit is still in focus. Juicy, elegant and wonderful to drink, this goes very well with darker meat such as beef, deer or pâtés, as well as all pasta variations and hard cheese. Possibly a perfect "table red".

Producer Information

Kremstal on the Danube was one of the first regions in Austria where wine was cultivated in the Middle Ages. The wine-growing in Dross was first documented in 1135: At that time renounced the Bishop of Passau on the toe of a vineyard in favor of the Lords of Drozze. This winegrower's house dates back to the 15th century and once served as a horse changing station. Before the steep ascent to the Waldviertel additional horses were stretched in front of the wagons - hence the name of the house: Vorspannhof. As a result, the owners also obtained the "Maria-Theresien-Konzession", ie they no longer had to apply for a trade license - the double-headed eagle on each wine bottle of Vorspannhof Mayr still bears witness to this. In 1898 the farm was acquired by the Mayr family. The purchase contract mentions 2 wine cellars, a press house, a farmer's stable, a banquet hall and two dining rooms. The operation away from the general agriculture and towards the viticulture led Anton Mayr, the father of today's owner Silke Mayr. Under Anton and his wife Brigitta Mayr, the company not only specialized in viticulture, but also acquired an excellent reputation as a tavern. When the cook retired in 2012 with Brigitta Mayr, the tavern closed its doors. Today the Vorspannhof is run exclusively as a winery.
