2016 BUCHEGGER ROSE TERRASSEN

Established in 1893 with a full set of un-cloned vines, Buchegger is located in Austria’s north-eastern region of Kremstal (about 30 miles north of Vienna). Today, the sixth generation under Walter Buchegger continues the ancestors’ traditions on 25 acres inherited from his parents in 1994. Using a strict form of Austrian organic farming called ‘Integrated Process’, Walter eschews machinery in the vineyards and limits even natural remedies like copper sulfite. Terrassen is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir complemented with 25% each Zweigelt and Merlot.
