Zweigelt 2008
The Zweigelt is the star among the Austrian red wine varieties. The reason for this is the great
versatility of this notable variety. Under skillful treatment the Zweigelt can yield fruity and velvety
as well as heavy and full red wines with a great tannin structure. Good Zweigelt wines can easily be
compared to renowned international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, yet the character of a Zweigelt
always remains likable, easy too drink and charming on the palate. The lighter of our Zweigelt variants
is simply named "Zweigelt". It is developed in classical Austrian style in big oak barrels, not too
heavy and therefore an ideal everyday wine.
Tasting notes: Our Zweigelt 2008 shimmers dark purple red in its glass. The bouquet is
reminiscent of cherries and dark fruits. The wine is very palatable and pleasingly smooth on the
palate.

for about three years. Serve at 12-13° C (53-56 F).
