No doom and gloom here, and a sunny yellow label to prove it. The three cheeky winemakers that make up the Austrian Wine Mafia strike again with a juicy, happy Zweigelt, that unfolds with unexpected depth and grace. Serious but hands off winemaking with two weeks on skins fermenting in open vats with 25% stems added, before ageing on lees for one year in stainless tanks has produced a perfectly balanced, exemplary Zweigelt, with just a nod of the natural nonconformism that gives the AWM wines their unique personality.

The Austrian Wine Mafia is a collaboration of three winemakers in Kamptal - siblings Magdalena und Lorenz Haas-Allram and Matthias Warnung. Their goal is to support the community between winegrowers, bringing different philosophies together to produce something greater than the sum of the parts.

Instead of being tied to labels like natural wine and classic wine society, they say: “We use the positive aspects of both approaches and create wines to bring people together."

It is the friendliest interpretation of Mafia possible - slightly antiauthoritarian but really all about family and cooperation. In the future they want to hand over the brand to people who support the same idea.

They use organic practices and promote biodiversity in all their vineyards but have decided not to apply to be organic certified as they don´t want to be guided by political restrictions. They don´t use any kind of herbicide, pesticide or chemical fertilizers and apply sustainable practices, using organic compost to ensure a healthy soil and allow wildflowers to grow between the rows. The aim is to farm in natural equilibrium and to have healthy grapes.

The wines are produced with low interventions and with indigenous yeast and at the end of the winemaking process they only add minimal amount of sulphur.
