The Hannes Reeh Heideboden Cuvée Rot 2021 is a powerful yet elegantly structured Austrian red wine from Burgenland that impressively reflects the unique terroir of the Heideboden in Seewinkel. The cuvée is made up of 60% Zweigelt, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot - a combination that unites regional typicity with an international sense of style. The vines grow on a gravel soil with a sandy content, which ensures excellent drainage and minerality. Thanks to the warm, Pannonian climate with cool nights, the grapes develop intense flavours and a precise structure.


The grapes are harvested by hand before undergoing spontaneous fermentation, which gives the cuvée its natural authenticity. After a maceration period of around four weeks, the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks and partly in barriques, giving the wine freshness as well as depth and complexity. With a screw cap, it retains its aromatic purity and drinking pleasure for years. The ageing potential extends to 2033, which emphasises its exceptional substance and stability.
