GOBELSBURGER ZWEIGELT

As Zweigelt is a relative to Pinot Noir the varietal is an obvious choice in the concentration on the Pinot family. Zweigelt is in the most grown red grape varietal in Austria and has developed a strong identity in the past couple of decades. Dr. Zweigelt – a professor in the wine university of Klosterneuburg – was originating from Langenlois. The vineyards are all around Gobelsburg, which is based on gravel banks formed in the last ice Age. ‘Exuding the typical sweet cherry fruit of this varietal, along with notes of blueberry, leather, resin, and wood smoke, this offers considerably more complexity than one would expect at the price. Faintly grainy in texture, this continues to pump an ample supply of red fruit and smoky, resinous nuances into its finish. While it’s a bit early to report on other 2005 reds from this address, I simply can’t resist.’ (Wine Advocate)
