Zweigelt Rebe 2005
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 therefore an ideal everyday wine.
