The Markowitsch Carnuntum Red 2024 is a finely balanced blend from the heart of the Carnuntum region and embodies the perfect balance of fruit, spice and elegance. The Weingut Markowitsch is renowned for its meticulous work in the vineyard and in the cellar, and this wine once again demonstrates why it ranks amongst the region’s leading estates.


The cuvée is composed of 80% Zweigelt, 10% Blaufränkisch and 10% Merlot. The vines grow on gravelly and sandy loam soils, which lend the grapes minerality and structure. The 2024 vintage is regarded in Carnuntum as one of the most exciting of recent years: A warm start to spring led to early budbreak, the hot summer months accelerated growth, and an early harvest – small in volume but outstanding in quality – produced grapes of incredible concentration. The grapes were harvested by hand in mid-September. Following a maceration period of 10–12 days at 28–30 °C and malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in large wooden casks and used barriques. With an alcohol content of 13% vol., the Markowitsch Carnuntum Red 2024 stands as an authentic ambassador for its region and as a red wine of exceptional finesse.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Markowitsch Carnuntum Red 2024 displays a clear ruby red colour with violet highlights. On the nose, it unfolds with seductive aromas of juicy cherries, accompanied by warm spicy notes and a subtle hint of toast. On the palate, it is juicy and invigorating, with lively fruit, an elegant structure and a delicate freshness. The tannins are softly integrated, and the finish impresses with its harmony and a pleasantly lingering aftertaste – a typical yet modern expression of the Carnuntum region.
