The Winkler-Hermaden Olivin 2021 in the exclusive 5-litre wooden crate is an impressive, powerful red wine from the volcanic region of Styria that combines origin, craftsmanship and nature in a fascinating way. Its name refers to the green crystal olivine, which is found in volcanic rock and symbolises the connection between vine and oak - a symbiosis that is poetically described on the label: "Green crystal in volcanic rock unites vine and oak in wine." The oaks from which the barriques are made also grow in the same climate and on the same soils around Schloss Kapfenstein.


The wine is made from the Blauer Zweigelt grape variety, which finds the best conditions on the volcanic soils of the Kapfensteiner Kogel. After careful hand-picking, the wine is matured for 24 months in Kapfenstein oak barriques, which gives the wine its unrivalled depth and structure. This combination of organic viticulture, regional wood and precise cellar work gives the Olivin 2021 its unique character - authentic, elegant and impressively complex.

Tasting Note

The Winkler-Hermaden Olivin 2021 has a deep ruby red colour with dark reflections in the glass. Pronounced cherry notes unfold on the nose, accompanied by fine vanilla flavours and a hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, the wine is powerful, dense and full-bodied, with flavours of dark chocolate, sour cherry and ripe berries, accompanied by a fine spiciness and perfectly integrated wood. The tannins are velvety, the body strong and harmoniously structured. The finish is long and complex - a wine with great ageing potential and an unmistakable signature.

Residual sugar content: 2.5 g/l

The Winkler-Hermaden Olivin 2021 is an ideal accompaniment to game dishes, steaks, braised beef, rack of lamb or mature cheese. Its dense structure and elegant wood make it a versatile wine for rich dishes and special occasions. Served at 16-18 °C, it unfolds its full flavour and complexity. Thanks to its excellent processing and ageing in Kapfenstein oak, this wine has great ageing potential and will continue to develop until 2037. An expressive, organic Zweigelt that epitomises the terroir of the Vulkanland region in its noblest form - majestic, authentic and with exceptional depth.
