Try Zweigelt This Summer
Zweigelt: Austria’s most-planted red, its acreage has increased in the last 15 years. So although you may have never tasted one—and may have never even heard of it—its fortunes may be turning.
2010 Netzl Zweigelt “Rubin Carnuntum” Carnuntum
The wine was the best integrated, supple, and nuanced of the tasting, and was still all together the following day. The best of tasting. Highly recommended.
2010 Leo Hillinger Zweigelt Burgenland
It perhaps needs a little age to unwind, but nonetheless felt promising. Recommended with reservation.
2009 Monika Caha Selections Zweigelt “Andau” Burgenland
I found this wine a little too opulent and not as food-friendly as the other examples, but it would likely be pleasing by the glass. Recommended
2009 Monika Caha Selections Zweigelt “Zvy-Gelt” Niederösterreich
I kept returning to the wine throughout the meal: it’s an extremely admirable wine, especially for its price. Recommended.
