Located in Wilfersdorf, Austria, the estate includes historical vineyards such as Karlsberg and Johannesberg. The family’s centuries-long tradition of viticulture is paired with modern wine‐making techniques to produce refined Austrian wines, including this Profundo bottling, which represents their work with native grapes and a push toward greater terroir expression.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe wine is produced by the estate team led by the Princely family, currently represented by Princess Marie. Winemaking for Profundo involves precise vineyard selection, minimal intervention fermentations, and maturation in French oak barriques for added complexity. The goal is to showcase the Zweigelt grape in a rich, expressive style while retaining elegance and freshness.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Zweigelt grapes for Profundo are sourced from single vineyards, primarily Karlsberg and Johannesberg in Wilfersdorf, situated in Lower Austria.
