REFLECTION:
This is a delightful expression of Zweigelt from certified organic vineyards in Burgenland, made by a generational winemaking family/couple: Josef and Pia Wurzinger. They aim to make wines that are as fun as they are well-made, with an emphasis on lower-intervention practices both in the vineyards and in the cellar, including spontaneous fermentation, no filtering/fining, minimal addition of sulfites, etc. The name Früg derives from a 1960s dance, which is very shake-your-hips and vibrant, much like the wine itself.
