Zweigelt is Austria’s most widely planted red grape, valued for its bright fruit character and easygoing style. A natural cross of Blaufränkisch and St Laurent, it typically shows flavours of cherry, plum, and subtle spice, supported by fresh acidity and soft tannins.
Made in styles ranging from light and juicy to more structured and savoury, Zweigelt is highly versatile at the table and can even be enjoyed lightly chilled. Approachable yet distinctive, it offers a relaxed alternative to Pinot Noir with a clear sense of place.
