Winemaking: Hand-picked whole bunches undergo sorting and carbonic maceration in closed fermenters, initiating a slow and cold fermentation in the historic cellar. After three weeks, the bunches are pressed into old oak vats to complete fermentation as juice. The wine ages in 500-liter vats for four months and receives a light sulfur addition at bottling.
The result is a vibrant Carb-mac red showcasing juicy sour cherry and cranberry aromas, complemented by spicy and earthy notes on the palate.

About Winemaker
Christina
Christina Netzl, the dedicated winemaker behind Christina wines, recounts her remarkable journey:
Raised on a family farm, Christina developed a passion for wine production at a young age. Working closely with her father, she honed her skills in traditional winemaking while pursuing studies in enology. An internship in London broadened her perspective, introducing her to a diverse array of wines from around the world.
In 2007, Christina returned to her family's winery with a mission to define the unique style of the Carnuntum wine-growing region. Driven by sustainability, she and her husband transitioned to organic farming in 2013, achieving certification in 2018. Over the years, Christina has embraced low-intervention winemaking, enriching the collection with her own range of natural wines.
So..What's natural wine again?
- No synthetic molecules in the vines
- Plowing or other solutions to avoid chemical herbicides
- Use of indigenous yeast
- Handpicked grapes
- Low to no filtering
- Low to no sulfites
- Winemaking that respects the grapes: no pumping or rough handling
of the grapes - no micro-oxygenation
Not all of our wines are natural; some are simply organic or sustainable.
However, they're all delicious and good for you!
