Zweigelt Reserve 2011

This vineyard of Zweigelt was planted in the 1960´s so the vines are already 50 years old and produce only small berries and small quantities which brings high quality. The harvest is rather early because it´s very important to have healthy grapes. If there is already some botrytis the grapes are selected exactly. The Zweigelt Reserve 11 has a pretty dark colour and a fruity nose of dark cherries. It has a medium body, soft tannins and a long finish. In comparison to its twin brother Zweigelt PUR a little dose of sulphur was added. So the next years we can observe how the wine developes with and without added sulphur. We recommend the Zweigelt Reserve 11 to lamb, deer and ripen cheese.
