The Markowitsch winery in Goettelsbrunn, Austria, is one of the country's top
wine estates. Founded several decades ago, it has developed from a small family
business into a leading winery. Located in the Carnuntum region, it benefits
from an ideal climate with hot summers and cold winters. The diverse soils offer
the best conditions for growing grape varieties such as Zweigelt,
Blaufraenkisch, St. Laurent, Gruener Veltliner and Chardonnay.

Sustainability is a central concern of the winery. It relies on environmentally
friendly methods, does not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides and uses
renewable energy. Harvesting is done by hand to guarantee the quality of the
grapes. Vinification combines traditional and modern techniques, with the wines
maturing in steel tanks and wooden barrels.



Markowitsch Carnuntum Rot is a balanced cuvee of Zweigelt, Blaufraenkisch and
Merlot, which thrives on gravelly and sandy loam soils. Fermentation takes place
over 10 to 12 days on the skins at controlled temperatures of 28-30 °C, followed
by malolactic fermentation, which preserves the freshness of the wine. Ageing
takes place in large wooden barrels and used barriques, which adds complexity to
the wine. After ageing, the Carnuntum Rot is bottled with a screw cap.



With a storage potential until 2030, this wine offers the opportunity to fully
unfold its aromas and develop optimally.
