Tasting Note

Zweigelt is a relatively new grape, developed in 1922 when an Austrian scientist, Fritz Zweigelt, crossed blaufränkisch with St. Laurent.... (more...) It is currently one of the most widely planted red grape varieties in Austria. Wines made from Zweigelt tend to have a freshness and grace that allows them to pair beautifully with a wide range of foods. Also, they often exhibit an exotic spice and floral character, predominantly aromas of cinnamon and violets, that make them distinctive and unusual.
