The Guts-Weine (estate wines) are intended as the winery's basic wines, which should be easy to access and still provide fun, joy and enjoyment. A lot of attention and time was devoted to the red organic wine from the Oeko Weingut Zang "Erdung", Regent, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The result is remarkable

Organic wine profile

• Color: Deep red-violet in color it radiates from the glass.
• Nose: The nose shows hints of apricot, elderflower and cassis paired with floral notes of roses and meadow herbs as well as a salty, cool feel of the soil.Rich bouquet of apricot, elderflower, cassis and juicy berries paired with floral notes of cherry blossoms, refreshing verbena and spicy meadow herbs with a salty note of the mineral-rich vineyard soil.
• Mouth: Flatteringly soft in the mouth, the texture is almost reminiscent of melting chocolate with subtle, bitter tannins. Impressions of cherries, blackberries and preserved wild strawberries also emerge on the palate, which slowly fade into a compact, grippy, earthy-spicy aftertaste.
      A real treat for the palate.
• Conseil de consommation : Servier à environ 16°C.

Organic wine production, Oeko-Wein-Gut Zang "Erdung", Regent, Guts-Wein, Franken QbA, red

All grapes are harvested by hand and spontaneously fermented with the grapes' own yeasts. Only in exceptional cases, such as when a period of bad weather is approaching, are the grapes for this wine harvested by machine in order to avoid losing the grapes due to rot. With the exception of some SO2, no preservatives or fining agents are used.

Like all red wines from the winery, this Regent was spontaneously fermented on the skins, but was pressed from the mash after just one week of fermentation in order to keep tannin extraction low and to preserve a fruity varietal character. This was followed by four years of maturation on the fine lees in stainless steel before this red organic wine was bottled in late summer 2023.
