Story

Weingut Rieger is quietly brilliant, deeply rooted, and always pushing forward with purpose. What started as a mixed family farm evolved into a serious wine estate in the 1980s. Today, Rieger is farming biodynamically, working with the lunar calendar, and letting nature do the talking. Wildflower cover crops, living soils, horn preparations, and spontaneous fermentations all come together to craft wines that feel alive - vibrant, textured, and honest. Add in their sustainability efforts, and you get a winery that’s not just making wine, but shaping a future.

Rieger Zero Red is crafted from organic Regent and Pinot Noir, it’s fruity yet dry, with real varietal character - think ripe berries, a bit of spice, and that gentle earthiness you want from a cool-climate red. The gentle reverse osmosis keeps the essential flavours intact, leaving just 0.2–0.3% alcohol while preserving body, aroma, and balance. It’s smooth, juicy, and surprisingly elegant, giving you the pleasure of a glass of red without the heaviness. This is the bottle you reach for when you want something comforting and characterful, without the %.

PAIRING GUIDE

Rieger Zero Red’s juicy yet dry profile makes it incredibly versatile. Pair it with roast mushrooms on polenta, a beetroot and walnut tart, or even a smokey veggie burger - the Regent and Pinot Noir fruit wrap around those earthy flavours like a warm scarf. If you’re leaning more classic, try it with grilled chicken thighs, herb-roasted root vegetables, or a tomato-rich pasta. And for a slightly unexpected hit, pour it with spiced lentil stew or baked aubergine with harissa and herbs. It’s a red that loves cosy, flavour-packed food without needing heavy dishes to shine.
