    Do You Really Want to Know? Label Transparency in the Wine Industry

    Caroline Henry
    Feature Stories
    5 min read
    What information does the consumer want from the wine he's about to drink? Today's labels include the alcohol percentage, sometimes a little tasting note or some generic information on the winery—and more often than not the "contains sulfites" statement. Is this really enough or does the consumer want more information?

    Robert Young Estate Winery “Scion” Cabernet Sauvignon

    The color is nearly opaque, tinted blue-purple around the edges. The nose shows tobacco leaf, black currant, and rich cherries. On the palate, raspberry is added to the fruits found on the nose. Coffee makes an appearance on the mid-palate, along with raspberry licorice. Tannins are round and lightly chewy.

    Quick! Name an Austrian wine. Did you say Grüner Veltliner? Take two points—and double that if you’ve drunk one in the last six weeks. Did you say Zweigelt? You just won a geek badge. Grüner is indeed the most widely grown grape variety in Austria, and there’s about as much

    2010 Netzl Zweigelt “Rubin Carnuntum” Carnuntum

    This Zweigelt also hails from the Niederösterreich in the smaller district of Carnuntum. But the vineyard mesoclimate enjoys the tempering influences of Lake Neusiedl and the Danube, producing riper fruit that still retains good acidity. The wine was deep cherry red with extremely elegant aromatics, including a whiff of tropical

    Leo Hillinger is a producer in Burgenland boasting a sleek, new modern winemaking and tasting facility built with many sustainable and green design features. Vineyard management is all organic, with only biological interventions and pest management practices when required. I’ve enjoyed their Pinot Noir, which is herbaceous and has distinct

    2009 Weinberghof Fritsch Zweigelt “Red Soil” Wagram

    Here was a red from the Wagram region of Lower Austria, the coolest zone in this lineup. The result was concomitantly lower in alcohol and had the telltale pale garnet color of a cool-climate wine. Hints of mint and herbs wafted over lovely aromas of plummy black fruits with a

    2009 Monika Caha Selections Zweigelt “Andau” Burgenland

    13.5% ABV | Price: about $14 (media sample) The result of another Monika Caha collaboration, this time with winemaker Erich Scheiblhofer. The fruit was grown in the extreme southern tip of Burgenland, which enjoys considerable sunshine and warmer temperatures than elsewhere in Austria. The result was, not surprisingly, the most

    2009 Monika Caha Selections Zweigelt “Zvy-Gelt” Niederösterreich

    This wine is a collaboration between winemaker Neinhard Forstreiter and Monika Caha Selections, who distributes the brand. Aging was half in stainless and half in neutral oak, but the wine mysteriously offered sweet butterscotch aromas along with its faint hints of black pepper. On the palate it was slightly spicy
