Name of varietal: Zweigelt
Common synonyms: Rotburger, Blauer Zweigelt
Parentage of the grape: Blaufrankish, Sankt Laurent
History of the grape: Zweigelt was created in 1922 by Fritz Zweigelt at the Institute of Viticulture and Pomology in Klosterneuberg, Austria. It was originally called Rotburger after an area in its home town, but to put an end with confusion over Rotberger, another cross-grape, oenologist Lenz Moser changed its name to Zweigelt in 1975. It was cultivated to create a native Austrian red grape that would be full-bodied, easy to plant, adaptable to cooler local weather conditions and resistant to disease. The result is a successful, full-flavored and well-structured grape that has become a national favorite that crossed over to other regions with favorable, cool-climate growing conditions.
Characteristics of the grape: medium to full-bodied, deep red, firm tannins, spicy, red plums, red cherry, black pepper, slightly acidic.

Looking at my sparse wine rack for a red to go with our steak tonight. This has been there awhile ~ honestly because I've never had one so I don't know what to expect. And, the top on the bottle is neither cork nor screw cap. I don't know what it's called, but it's more like a beer bottle cap. I never judge a wine by it's top anyway, so this... Read More

Softly fruity on the nose with a nice forest floor, floral undercurrent along with creamy suggestions of raspberries dusted with a hint of talc. Focused and sapid in the mouth with an early rush of almost salty minerality that adds decisive cut to the gently fruity palate. A noticeable touch of sweetness here helps to accentuate the strawberry f... Read More
