Drawn from the long-established Portugieser vineyards- Zwiegelt is a varietal that is already becoming very rare.
Juicy, fruity, forward and dark, this is plump and very fruity zweigelt, with dark plummy fruit, black berry compote, black raspberry and more in a similar, highly fruity medium. Tannins are soft, acids equally pliant and easy, and wood influence well integrated. Finer, juicy, plump red wine, infinitely drinkable.

From the Weinvertel in Lower Austria and a straight-shooter of a varietal wine from a vintage where ripening happened with ease, over a perfectly seasoned length of time. This is beautiful zweigelt, plump and sweetly tart, perfectly effusive, open, generous and as they go - truly fine. With just the slightest chill this may be one of the most refreshing red wine discoveries you will have come across in a very long time. Drink 2023-2026
