This grape variety feels right at home in most of our vineyards. Our deep and nutrient-rich gravel soils are reserved for our Zweigelt. The region counts to the warmest and dryest wine-growing areas in Austria – ideal conditions for the production of distinctive red wines.

An incredibly deep red color characterizes our Zweigelt. In the nose the wine shows deep fruit aromas of fresh cherries and dark berries, supported by a hint of cinnamon. On the palate our classic also seduces with juicy fruit paired with fine spice. The full body is backed up by fine acidity, which ends in a long and mouthfilling finish.

Enjoy this wine with pasta dishes and cheeses.

The red grape variety Zweigelt is the most spread red grape variety in Austria. It is a crossing from Blaufränkisch and Sankt Laurent. The name derives from breeder Professor Fritz Zweigelt who started the crossing in 1922 at Klosterneuburg. The area planted with Zweigelt in Austria is around 6,200 ha – which makes up almost 14%.

The grape variety is planted in all wine regions in Austria, but brings particularly good wines in the regions Carnuntum and Neusiedlersee. The portfolio is impressive: from young, fresh and fruity wines without oak ageing up to powerful, complex barrique wines with good ageing potential – this grape variety is truly an allrounder.
