Zweigelt
THE dominant vine
variety in our winery. We use vines from our own breeding programme
(see vine cloning) which flourish on the sandy terrain of the Seewinkel.
A complex character distinguishes this fine red wine grape. The name
of this vine type comes from the Austrian vintager Dr. Fritz Zweigelt
who bred the Zweigelt vine from a cross of Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent
in 1922.
St. Laurent
is a vine variety
with a very memorable flavour even in the early mature stage. This
grape which produces a robust, fruity, deep-red wine is a recent addition
to our vinyard. The vines descend from our own breeding programme
(see vine
cloning).
Teran - Zweigelt Cuvée
The vine variety Teran
(Refosk) is one of the most important ones in the Slovenian karst
region. It is a powerful wine with tart accents, rich in colour, with
an intensive aroma and a full flavour.
Zweigelt is very often
used as a "basis partner" for red wine cuvées.
This cuvée from Teran
and Zweigelt is characterised by the many complexities of tannins,
Mediterranean impressions with delicate mineral facets. |
