Zweigelt Rebe 2004
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 sturdy 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 to drink and charming on the palate. The lighter of our Zweigelt variants
is named Zweigelt Rebe. It is developed in classical Austrian style in big oak barrels, not too heavy
and an ideal everyday wine.
Tasting notes: Our Zweigelt Rebe 2004 looks dark red within the glass with distinctive violet
reflections on the edge. Its aroma is reminiscent of red berries. The taste is tender-tart, not too
strong and pleasingly smooth on the palate. Zweigelt Rebe is best served with light meat, noodles, in
unhurried moments or whenever you just like to.
