The wine is dark ruby red in colour, with aromas of raspberries and hints of cocoa. The palate has a juicy core of red cherry and plum, with smooth tannins.

The Zweigelt Rusterberg comes from two small vineyard plots on the Ruster Berg, the hills surrounding the famous village of Rust. The vineyards ‘Kraxner’ and ‘Ruster’ are east facing, with a gentle slope towards the Lake Neusiedel. The soil is sandy loam with mica schist and gneiss. The site is managed sustainably, without the use of herbicides or insecticides and the growth of local plants as cover crop is encouraged.

Heidi Schröck has pioneered the role of women in the Austrian wine scene. Voted ‘Vintner of the Year’ by food and wine magazine Falstaff, Heidi also led an organisation dedicated to promoting female winemakers. As a result of her work, the number of women working in the Austrian wine industry has increased considerably.
