Zweigelt Neusiedlersee DAC 2022

Dark ruby garnet with an almost black core and violet rim.
The nose reveals typical notes of heart cherries, sour cherry compote and fresh, spicy components that give the wine a special kick. Aromas of wild berry confit, fine floral nuances, currants and a hint of nougat round off the bouquet.

On the palate, the wine is juicy, elegant and wonderfully balanced. Roast cherries and plums combine with a pleasant sweetness in the finish. A fine dark chocolate note in the aftertaste and a subtle salty minerality, underpinned by fresh herbal spice and tobacco notes, characterize the taste profile. The ripe red berries and the present but soft, supple tannins round off the enjoyment.

A wonderfully typical and harmonious Zweigelt with a soft tannin grip, which brings more joy with every sip and promises drinking pleasure without any rough edges!
