TRAPL<br />
ORGANIC<br />
Johannes Trapl is a purist who aspires<br />
to reveal the true, authentic essence of<br />
the Carnuntum region in his wines. In<br />
most cases, the vines for his best wines are<br />
older than he is. The vines are deeply rooted;<br />
harmonious, multi-layered and fruit-intense<br />
is the flavour of their grapes. Trapl seeks the<br />
true character and flavour that the terroir<br />
confers. He guides the vines that his grandfather<br />
attentively planted with his own<br />
hands. When the grapes enter the cellar in<br />
autumn, a new environment awaits and Johannes<br />
Trapl helps them overcome their<br />
shyness and become wine. He simply guides<br />
them, allowing their intrinsic character to<br />
remain intact. The vintner adores intrinsic<br />
fruit – pepper, cherry, lilac and more – authentic,<br />
natural and real. He takes on the<br />
challenge for Zweigelt and St. Laurent on<br />
the gravel and loam dominated slopes of the<br />
Arbesthaler Hills. The Spitzerberg, which<br />
belongs geographically to the Hainburg<br />
Mountains, allows him the possibility to<br />
vinify a very individual Blaufränkisch that<br />
reflects its origin in meagre schist rock. Johannes<br />
Trapl summarizes his credo, “I want<br />
to feel the diversity, finesse and power of our<br />
vineyards and bring a maximum of this into<br />
the wines without sacrificing drinking enjoyment.”<br />

Deep dark ruby with purple highlights and a subtle transparent<br />
rim. Ripe damson plum, blackberry, candied orange<br />
zest and delicate notes of cardamom and sandalwood.<br />
Juicy acidity elegantly lifts delicate sweet fruit. Tannins<br />
are nicely rounded. Pleasant chocolate notes join in on the<br />
finish. Dependable ageing potential.<br />
