Zweigelt

Created in the 1920s by Professor Fritz Zweigelt, it is a crossing between Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent and is nowadays the most widespread red variety in Austria.

The variety brings slightly violet-reddish coloured wines with soft tannins. Mature, full-bodied and long-living wines deliver tones of Morello cherry. High-quality wines are produced both in stainless steel as well as in barriques.
