Steinzeiler is the flagship red of Weingut Kollwentz, a cuvée of Blaufränkisch and international varieties from the southern slopes of the Leithagebirge. The vines grow on limestone-rich gravel and hillside sites with deliberately low yields. After a long maceration the wine matures in small French oak barrels, gaining depth and subtle roasted aromas. The bouquet shows blackberry, cassis, dark cherry, tobacco and spice. On the palate Steinzeiler is dense, firmly structured and yet remarkably elegant, with fine tannins and impressive length. A great red wine for game, steaks and festive dishes.

Kollwentz
On the south-facing slopes of the Leithagebirge above Großhöflein, Weingut Kollwentz Römerhof has long treated estate bottling as a principle: own vineyards, own grapes, own wine. The place is steeped in time—top sites such as Steinzeiler and Tatschler appear in records as early as 1569/1570, and the family’s documented story at the Römerhof reaches back to 1775....

The grape variety: Blaufränkisch
Blaufränkisch is a Central European red grape known for dark cherry, pepper, fresh acidity and structured tannins. It is especially important in Austria and Hungary.
The grape is exciting because it combines elegance with savoury spice. Pair Blaufränkisch with duck, pork, lamb, goulash, mushrooms, sausages and hard cheeses.
