The Hannes Reeh Lieblich Rot 2022 10.5% is a fruit-forward red wine cuvée from Burgenland, made in equal parts from 50% Zweigelt and 50% Merlot. The wine forms part of Hannes Reeh’s straightforward ‘Haus & Hof’ Linie and offers an accessible drinking experience with pronounced fruitiness. The grapes grow on gravelly soils with a sandy component and are carefully harvested by hand. With a must density of 21 °KMW, the winemaking process is deliberately straightforward: both fermentation and the subsequent ageing take place entirely in stainless steel tanks, ensuring that the fruity character of the two red grape varieties remains the focus.


With 37.9 g/l of residual sugar, the Hannes Reeh Lieblich Rot 2022 is clearly a sweet wine, whilst an acidity of 5.1 g/l provides a balancing counterpoint. The blend of Zweigelt and Merlot offers a charming introduction to the world of red wines and reflects the uncomplicated style of Hannes Reeh’s Haus-&-Hof wines. Available in a 0.75 l bottle, this sweet Austrian red wine is particularly suited to connoisseurs who prefer a fruity, approachable red wine with pronounced residual sweetness. The stated ageing potential extends to 2030.
