Weingut Peter Dolle Blauer Zweigelt

Weingut Peter Dolle Blauer Zweigelt from Kamptal, Austria. Translucent ruby red wine with cherries and strawberries in the nose. Young, uncomplicated wine made on fruit with a fresh taste. A “friendly” wine that can serve for all days as well as for a festive occasion.

Zweigelt (blauer zweigelt, zweigeltrebe) a typical Austrian grape was developed in 1922 by Dr. Friedrich Zweigelt, director of the Bundeslehr- und Versuchanstalt für Wein- und Obstbau in Klosterneuburg, who crossed Saint-Laurent with the blaufränkisch (limberger). The grape is easy to grow (largely in Burgenland and Lower Austria) and in other cool climates, especially England and parts of Germany. Zweigelt produces generous yields and pleasantly drinkable, fairly light, intensely fruity Beaujolais-like wines. As a young wine it has a fruity bouquet, which becomes rounder and finer as it matures. The qualities range from drinking young, light table wine to powerful wines for storage.
