naked red non-vintage 1500ml Magnum

Wine description for naked red non-vintage 1500ml Magnum by Heinrich

Colour & Appearance

Dark cherry red with an intense core and luminous, pale rim – a seductive interplay between depth and transparency in the glass.

Nose

Dark, spicy and seductively complex. Cassis, elderberry and blackberry meet crisp sour cherry – the fruit remains refreshing rather than concentrated. A hint of liquorice and anise brings ethereal freshness, whilst juniper and green pepper provide spicy accents. Abundant garden herbs round out the aromatic ensemble.

Palate

Here the Naked Red reveals its true strength: grip and structure pair with silky juiciness. Remarkably elegant on the attack, which enormously enhances the drinking flow. The fruit transforms into raspberry and especially sour cherry, whilst the spice recedes in favour of pure drinking pleasure. A wine that is fun to drink without being superficial.

Finish

Fresh and lively with lingering cherry notes and a hint of herbal spice. The moderate alcohol content of 12.5% vol. underscores the elegance and lightness of foot.

Terroir & Origin

The vines come from both sides of Lake Neusiedl: from the limestone and slate soils of the Leithagebirge hillside vineyards in the west, as well as from the gravel soils of the Parndorfer Platte and the humus-rich heathland soil in the east. This diversity is reflected in the wine’s complexity.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A non-vintage cuvée with Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch as the base, supported by St. Laurent and other varieties. Harvest from late August to mid-September, spontaneous fermentation over two weeks on the skins in wooden fermentation vats and steel tank. Subsequently aged for over a year in wooden fermentation vats – classic natural wine philosophy from Weingut Heinrich.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Perfect with grilled feta with Mediterranean herbs and sun-dried tomatoes, beetroot carpaccio with burrata and pistachios or smoked venison ham with wild herb salad and cranberry.

Special Features

The Naked Red in magnum format (1500ml) is an uncomplicated, authentic natural wine that prioritises drinking pleasure over concentration – honest, lively and perfect for convivial gatherings.
