The concentrated power of the sun in every grape is what Jacqueline Klein brings to her wines. In northern Burgenland, surrounded by wind turbines, vegetable fields and endless expanses around Andau, the hottest place in Austria, are the sustainably cultivated vineyards of the winemaker, where the raw material for exquisite, full-bodied wines with an extraordinary style grows. This terroir is made for red wine!
The leading variety is the autochthonous Zweigelt grape, which is used both as a single variety and as a cuvée partner. Due to the current climatic changes, the trend is towards international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. This is also reflected in the restructuring of the vineyard, where more Cabernet varieties have been planted in recent years, which are better able to cope with longer dry periods due to their small and loose grapes and robust skin.
Most of the red wines are matured in French oak barrels, where a wide variety of toasting options are carefully selected depending on the vintage and maturity. This is how Klein makes wine.
