The Winzerhof Kiss RED KISS 2023 is a charming, fruit-forward red wine blend that impresses with its elegance, drinkability and Burgenland character. It comes from the family-run Winzerhof Kiss, situated in Jois on the north-eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl, in the heart of northern Burgenland. The estate is renowned for its terroir-driven wines, which are vinified with great finesse and a commitment to sustainability. The Neuberg, Mittersatz and Übermassl vineyards form the foundation of this red wine – sites characterised by ideal sun exposure and soils rich in character.

The grape varieties Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and Cabernet Sauvignon come together here to create an approachable yet multi-layered cuvée. The vines grow on chernozem soils composed of loamy clay, as well as on brown earth with a sandy loam content, which lends the cuvée depth, fruitiness and a harmonious structure. Following hand-harvesting, classic maceration takes place in stainless-steel tanks at 30 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation in wooden barrels. Further ageing for 6 months in used wooden barrels imparts a delicate maturity to the wine without dominant oak notes. The wine is bottled with a screw cap, which emphasises its freshness. It will be ready to drink until at least 2027 if stored under optimal conditions.
