Notes from critics

The Zweigelt grape is a red wine grape variety developed in Austria in 1922 by crossing Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent. It is now widely planted in Austria, where it is the third most popular red grape variety after Blaufränkisch and Pinot Noir. The grape produce wines that are typically light to medium-bodied with bright acidity and fruity flavors. Zweigelt wines are often described as being elegant and easy to drink. Austrian Trockenbeerenauslese is a rare dessert wine made from noble rot-affected grapes. Its concentrated and complex flavors include dried fruit, honey, and spice, balanced by vibrant acidity. The wine's sweetness lingers on the long finish. The 2019 Trockenbeerenauslese No. 4 is a remarkable dessert wine that exemplifies the essence of noble rot-affected grapes. Crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail, this rare and exceptional wine showcases a symphony of concentrated and complex flavors that dance upon the palate.

Fermented on the mash for 5-7 days prior to the pressing, the 2019 Trockenbeerenauslese No. 4 Zweigelt Nouvelle Vague offers a beautiful bouquet of ripe cherries, plums and strawberries, sea buckthorn, white nougat, cigar box and smoked oak. Sweet and tart or even (lime) bitters on the palate, with toasty aromas and remarkably fine and vivacious acidity, this is a highly delicate, finessed, saline and sustainable Zweigelt TBA whose sweetness isn't shy but not at all sticky, just the contrary thanks to the pure and saline finish. A gorgeous wine.

94

Very attractive nose of dried cherry, cranberry and strawberry with a touch of unrefined brown-sugar aroma, this TBA from the red zweigelt grape really has a stack of red-wine character. Tannins, too. Analytically, this has opulent sweetness, but it certainly doesn’t taste like that.
