Cuvée PATRONIS

Cuvée PATRONIS
2022

Wine description:
This wine is a real treat for the senses. With its deep ruby red color and enticing aroma of blackcurrants and wild berries, it takes the palate on an aromatic journey. The present tannins provide a pleasant structure, while the dark berry nuances, vanilla and fine roasted aromas lend the wine an elegant complexity. A truly exceptional wine that not only impresses with its label, but also with its taste.

On the variety and origins of this wine:
Tattendorf in Lower Austria´s Thermenregion provides some of the best red wine vineyards in Austria. The varieties St. Laurent, Zweigelt and Merlot used for our PATRONIS mature on the shallow alluvial gravel soil with brown earth in our Stiftsbreite vineyard.

Stift Klosterneuburg Wine Estate:
Since its foundation in 1114 Klosterneuburg Abbey has been growing wine and therefore is the oldest wine estate of Austria. With 108 Hectares of vineyards it is one of the country‘s largest and most renowned estates. The vineyards are situated in selected top locations in Klosterneuburg, Vienna, Gumpoldskirchen and Tattendorf.

Since the year 2009 it is the first carbon neutral wine estate in Europe.

Collection:
The cuvée PATRONIS, is an hommage to our founders and patrons St. Leopold and St. Agnes and was created on the occasion of our 900th anniversary. The label with grapes and vines originates from a hand written medieval manuscript from the time when Stift Klosterneuburg was founded and it is still kept in the Abbey library.
