Moarhoch
Moarhof ennobled to Moarhoch!
Styrian Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Dense and powerful with mint and small berries on the nose, lots of substance on the palate, rustic with a ripe tannin core; delicate toasting with smoky tobacco, multi-faceted with great storage potential!
The history of the wine
Maierhofen was first mentioned in a document in 1215 - the place name originates from a Moarhof, which was built on a valley floor near the confluence with the Ilz River. The farm with all its goods belonged to "Herrand zu Wildon", who handed it over to the Johanniterorden zu Fürstenfeld. On the ridge above Maierhofen 15 winegrowers are mentioned, who harvested 10 100 liters of wine and had to deliver four starts of wine to their feudatories. The "originally historically founded Moarhof" was symbolically rebuilt high above Maierhofen in 2004 and thus experiences its historical resurrection in this form. Following these historical roots, Karl Thaller V. was dedicated a powerful red wine with the designation "Moarhof" on the occasion of his 70th birthday in the fall of 1998!
Due to the DAC regulation in which red wine in Styria was not taken into consideration, this opulent, powerful wine with the 2018 vintage now bears the designation "Moarhoch" - in the footsteps of its historical roots "Hoch" (which means "high") above Maierhofen.

Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
excl. Shipping costs
A great wine with a great future. My berries are small and deep black at the centre. After an intimate fermentation, I have spent 30 months in small barrels. I am dense and opulent, beguiling and juicy, with a long persistence.
Eruption ROT
excl. Shipping costs
An essence of highly ripe, selective Zweigelt fruit from the “Riede Gallerin”. An eternal dwell time in small barrels gives me beguiling fruit aromas and powerful depth. Great storage potential!
Eruption Cuvée Zusammenhalt
excl. Shipping costs
Zusammenhalt (Cooperation): This is the great bond of the Eruption winemakers’ community. Even if the climate in the conspiratorial group is often compared with the force of volcanism, the collision of tectonic plates, without cohesion this quite fertilizing dynamic would not be possible. This unique cuvée consists of one very good barrel of red wine […]
