Ecker Eckhof Donatus

Ecker Eckhof Donatus is a polished red blend from Austria’s Wagram region, made from Zweigelt and St. Laurent—two of the country’s key indigenous varieties. Grown on loess-rich soils and matured in oak, the wine brings together Zweigelt’s juicy fruit with the structure and finesse of St. Laurent, resulting in a poised, medium-bodied wine with real depth.

Aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and a hint of forest floor. The palate shows dark berry fruit, gentle spice, and soft, well-integrated tannins, with a touch of smoky oak and a long, balanced finish.

Contains sulphites.

• Slow-cooked pork shoulder
• Wild mushroom and lentil ragù
• Roast duck breast
• Grilled venison sausages
• Aged Gruyère

Donatus is one of Bernhard Ecker’s flagship reds, named in honour of Saint Donatus, patron saint of vintners. The combination of Zweigelt and St. Laurent—both closely related but stylistically distinct—offers a uniquely Austrian profile: vibrant fruit, savoury depth, and graceful ageing potential. It’s a benchmark example of what Wagram can deliver beyond white wines.
