Heinrich Zweigelt 2016

Zweigelt is a crossing between Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent created by Dr. Fritz Zweigelt at the Klosterneuburg in wine college in 1922.

It produces soft and fruity wines that are generous with flavors of cherries, herbs, and spice, and features medium-weight and fresh acidity, making it an ideal wine for the table.

Zweigelt is Austria’s most-planted red grape variety and is favored for its soft and fruity character, making it easy to enjoy and versatile at the table. Its fresh and bright profile allows Zweigelt to cut the richness of traditional Hungarian goulash or complement the flavor of roasted game birds or earthy chanterelle mushrooms.
