A blast of dark fruits, spices and fresh, springy juiciness that leaps from the glass on the nose and hits the palate like a mouthful of summer berries. There are no oaky flavours in Ink although some time in large barrels is spent in the maturation. 

About the producer: The Schödl Family is a family-run winery located in the Weinviertel region of Austria, founded in 1998 by siblings Mathias, Viktoria and Leonhard. They're committed to biodynamic agriculture and a minimal intervention approach in the cellar, letting the rich soils of the Kreutner Hills and their small selection of local grapes shine through to the fullest extent.
