Zweigelt

Heh? Zwei-what?? ZweiGELT! here’s the best phonetic pronunciation guide I could invent- “Tsvye-gelt.” But I promise not to make fun of you if you say “Zwy-gelt”. Or you could get straight to the point and just say “gimmee the weird red with the bottle top!”

Krems, Austria- An elegant wine with intense, deep cherry fruit flavors. There are a touch of spice notes finishing with soft, easy tannins. Due to the advantageous Kremstal vineyard site, this red exhibits northern climate elegance combined with the temperament of the south (Elegant, Cherry, Spice, Medium-bodied)

This is bottled and made in the shared Buchegger-Mayr winery. 100% Zweigelt, grown in loess soils. The fruit is fermented on the skins and aged in wood for one year. Seductively fruity and juicy in the nose – ripe cherries, red mulberries, with a certain kick of spiciness. On the palate the fruit is still in focus. Juicy, elegant and wonderful to drink, this goes very well with darker meat such as beef, deer or pâtés, as well as all pasta variations and hard cheese. Possibly a perfect "table red".

Loimer Rosé comes from biodynamically-farmed vineyards near the village of Langenlois in the Kamptal region. Zweigelt gives this rosé a soft and fruity character with aromas and flavors of red cherries, plums, and Red Delicious apples. Pinot Noir contributes to the wine’s aromatics, lending floral and herbal aromas in addition to refreshing acidity. The refreshing character of Loimer Rosé with its bright acidity and a moderate level of alcohol make it the ideal partner to picnic fare, grilled foods, and Asian dishes. Serve this wine with a watermelon and feta salad, BLTs, seared tuna, or grilled sausages.

Strong body, interplay of plum, blackberries and clove on the palate, intense but not intrusive on the finish.
