Wine Description
A classic, uncomplicated Zweigelt with fine aromas of sour cherry and a simple tannic structure.
Tasting Notes
The nose is dominated by intense notes of sour cherry and dark plums. It is fruity and light-bodied, characterized by a refreshing acidity and very soft, smooth tannins. The focus is on purity of fruit rather than heavy oak influence.
