Burgtheater Zweigelt Reserve
2020
A fine fruit display of dark cherries, extremely juicy; behind it also yellow notes like mango, open-hearted & tempting; powerful and fine-grained, deep cherry fruit once more paired with a hint of evergreen, elegantly structured, lots of dynamic tension & acidity into the long aftertaste, in this form rather something new.
Traditionally we make a classic varietal wine from Zweigelt/Rotburger and only recently are exploring the potential as a reserve quality of this truly “all Austrian varietal”.
Maturation
Only hand picked ripe and healthy grapes were used. The must was fermented in the classic way - two weeks on the skins - while malolactic fermentation took place in temperature-controlled rooms. Then it was matured for about 18 months in 300l Austrian Oak casks.
Food pairing recommendation
For pastas and barbecues in summer, roasted veal and pork, veal and pork leaver, young venison and lamb, soft cheese dishes when more mature…
