Open with a bouquet of blueberries, ripe red fruits and dried herbs. The palate is a fruit-basket of raspberries, wild strawberries, blackberries and sour cherries supported by a light-touch framework of soft tannins and good acidity. Medium-bodied with a hints of tobacco and dark chocolate on a moreish finish. Perfect wine for Gamay and Pinot lovers!
"If you like Beaujolais or Pinot Noir then Zweigelt will be right up your street.
Created in 1922 by Friedrich Zweigelt, it is a crossing between St Laurent and Blaufränkisch and the most commonly grown red variety in Austria.
Here the nose displays aromas of blueberries, soft red fruits, and dried herbs while the palate is packed with raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, and cherry notes, balanced with soft tannins and good acidity. Wonderful wine."
