Zweigelt Burgenland - Moorhof

The Zweigelt Burgenland from the hands of Moorhof in Burgenland reveals a bright, light red color when swirled in the glass. This single-varietal Austrian wine displays wonderfully refined notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, plums, and black cherries in the glass.

Moorhof Zweigelt Burgenland delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with 8.6 grams of residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and thus, despite all its dryness, this Austrian enchants with the finest balance.

Thanks to the moderate acidity, the Zweigelt Burgenland caresses the palate with a pleasing mouthfeel, without lacking juicy liveliness. On the finish, this youthful red wine from the Burgenland wine-growing region finally impresses with a lovely length. Once again, hints of blueberry and black cherry emerge.

Vinification of Zweigelt Burgenland from Moorhof

This red wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Zweigelt. For this wonderfully balanced single-varietal wine from Moorhof, only flawless grapes were used. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed.
