From the Zweigelt House

The wine is grown on 110 hectares of a family-owned vineyard near the village of Stetten, close to Vienna. The vines are planted in sandstone soil, which gives the wine its distinctive flavor. The vineyards are surrounded by lush greenery, ensuring sufficient moisture for the vines even during dry periods.

The harvest takes place annually in mid-September. The grapes are carefully selected by a team of pickers, and not all of them are suitable for producing this delicious wine. The grapes are macerated for four hours before being gently pressed in a pneumatic press. The wine then matures in cool cellars at a temperature of 18°C, automatically controlled. It is stored in stainless steel tanks and bottled in Burgundy-style bottles.

Dry Zweigelt from Austria pairs beautifully with grilled meats such as beef steak or roast pork. It also complements game dishes, such as venison ragout, and medium-flavoured cheeses such as Gouda or Camembert. Thanks to its fruity flavour and gentle tannins, it also goes well with tomato-based pasta dishes or grilled vegetables.

This Austrian family winery is located
