BurgenlandZweigelt Zena 2020

Žena, woman in Croatian - an exceptional Zweigelt with an extremely velvety body. Brilliant dark red with a black core. Concentrated, rich fruit with rich sour cherry notes and gentle length. Wonderfully filigree and of highly complex structure.

The thousand-year-old vineyard meadow to the west of Rust was formed about 16 million years ago as a coral reef of the primordial sea. A shell limestone sediment and crystalline gneiss give the wine its very mineral, powerful and unique character. The sunny south-eastern slopes of the hill country around Rust are among the most traditional and best vineyards in Austria.

50% of the Zweigelt was stored for 4 months in small oak barrels and the other half of the Zweigelt was stored in steel tanks. The two wines were then combined.

Light fish, poultry dishes, pasta and light cheese go well with this Zweigelt.
