Christoph Edelbauer, Zweigelt, Kamptal, Austria 2017
{organic} 100% Zweigelt
RICH MULBERRY, BRIGHT BLACKBERRY, SUAVE SANDALWOOD
"Forest berries and smoky aromas! Creamy with a little bit of caramel! Powerful with broad shoulders." Zweigelt’s intense berry energy reminds wine lovers of everything from Zinfandel to Dolcetto, but the comparisons miss how one-of-a-kind this grape is. Bursting with dense, fiercely purple fruit, this offering has a distinctive personality. While Kamptal is generally better known for its whites, this is one of the most commanding (though gentle) Austrian reds we’ve ever had.
Serving Suggestion: Fried pork cutlets w/ beet, red cabbage, & cranberry salad. Enchiladas w/ sweet potato, shiitakes, & sour cream.
