Zweigelt is the most widely planted red wine grape in Austria, and yet it is not well known outside of the country. For Gamay and Pinot Noir lovers, Zweigelt is a wine they should know. Light, fruity, and crisp, it is great chilled and is a perfect pairing with Barbecue and grilled foods.
Sometimes called “the ultimate picnic wine,” if dining alfresco and having cookouts are on your calendar, and you want a crowd-pleasing red wine to serve, you can hardly go wrong with Zweigelt.
And we taste and review three different Zweigelts to give you an idea of their taste profile and we’ll tell you which one of the three we think you should buy.
Wines reviewed in this episode: 2020 Winzer Krems Blauer Zweigelt St. Severin, 2018 Pratsch Zweigelt, and 2019 Berger Zweigelt.
