Description
The 2022 ‘Amphore Amore’ from Heidi Schröck & Söhne is a bold and innovative orange wine that showcases the winery’s creative spirit. Crafted with extended skin contact in amphorae, this wine reveals a captivating amber hue and a complex bouquet of dried apricots, orange peel, white tea, and a touch of exotic spices. On the palate, it is textural and layered, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savory finish. A perfect companion to Mediterranean dishes, grilled vegetables, or aged cheeses, this wine is a unique and soulful expression of natural winemaking at its finest.

About Austrian Wine
Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn’t seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it’s wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time.
Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.
In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
