Varietal

Zweigelt

Zweigelt is an Austrian red grape variety created in 1922 by crossing Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent. It has since become one of Austria's most widely planted red grapes, known for producing approachable yet characterful wines. Zweigelt wines typically exhibit bright red fruit flavors such as cherry and raspberry, often complemented by hints of spice and a touch of pepper. They are medium-bodied with moderate tannins and refreshing acidity, making them versatile and food-friendly. What makes Zweigelt unique is its ability to combine the fruity characteristics of its parent grapes with a distinctive spiciness, akin to white pepper or cinnamon. It is also valued for its adaptability to different terroirs within Austria, expressing variations in soil and climate through its wines. Zweigelt is enjoyed both as a young wine and with some aging potential, evolving in complexity over time.

Country

Austria

Archaeological evidence suggests that grapevines have been grown and cultivated in what is today modern Austria for over four thousand years, making it one of the oldest wine producing countries in the world. Over the centuries, relatively little has changed in Austrian wine, with the dominant grape varietals continuing to be Grüner Veltliner, Zweigelt, Pinot Noir and others. Austria is renowned for producing excellent and characterful dry white wines, although in the eastern part of the country, many wineries specialist in sweeter white wines made in a similar style to those of neighboring Hungary. Today, Austria has over fifty thousand hectares under vine, split over four key wine regions. The domestic wine industry remains strong, with Austrians drinking their local produce outside in the summer, and people around the world are beginning to once more rediscover this fascinating and ancient wine culture.
