    Winemaker Notes

    Unger’s Zweigelt Rosé burst with crisp, spicy red berry and currant fruit and expresses the inherent freshness of the variety.

    Petra Unger, Other Europe
    Unger was founded in 1987 by Dr. Wolfgang Unger and is now operated by his daughter Petra, and Konrad Hackl. Petra Unger, member of the “Traditionsweingüter” and “11 women and their wines”, cultivates 11 hectares of vineyards in the Kremstal-region with mainly Grüner Veltliner and Riesling vines. Situated on the eastern frontier of the Wachau region, where the steep and narrow Danube valley opens into gently rolling hillsides, Petra has a particular talent to optimize the various microclimates and soil types in her vineyards. She continuously produces characterful wines, which have great fruit extraction, balance and elegance.

    Petra Unger’s range of wines include Classic and Reserve bottlings. The Classic wines have a maximum alcohol content of 12.5%, are delightfully fresh and clean with a fruit-forward, elegant style. The Reserve wines are ripened longer and may slightly exceed 12.5% alcohol. These dry wines are full bodied, rich and rewarding delivering long flavors that express a sense of place.

    Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

    The region of considerable geologic diversity and microclimates, Kremstal extends virtually without border east from Wachau along the Danube River. Its magnificent terraced and rocky vineyards in the west alongside Wachau include some of Austria’s most esteemed Riesling vineyards, the (Steiner) Hund and Pfaffenberg, as well as Kögl and Wachtberg nearer to the city of Krems. After Krems, the vineyards become excessively steep upstream around Senftenberg where Riesling and Grüner Veltliner thrive. Grüner Veltliner does best from here east where the soils become a mix of sand, gravel and loess.

    Grüner Veltliner and Riesling together comprise two thirds of all of the Kremstal vineyards; the region itself represents about five percent of Austria’s total vineyard area.
