Stift Klosterneuburg, Zweigelt is a very fine, typical representative of its variety, it is the original after all!  The wine is deep ruby red in colour with youthful purple tints.  It has the characteristicly aroma of fresh, ripe, crunchy cherries and is juicy with restrained power on the palate.  An elegant wine with lovely structure provided by the lightly grippy fully ripe tannins.

Pair the Stift Klosterneuburg Zweigelt with pasta dishes and antipasti.  Also works well with venison and beef dishes.

Stift Klosterneuburg - "Careful use of our resources has always shaped our way of doing business. Now we have gone one step further: all processes in the entire winery have been analyzed and optimized with regard to their impact on the climate. Now we have been certified as climate-neutral by the climate protection pioneer "ClimatePartner" as the first winery in Austria."

The Zweigelt variety, created in 1922 by Prof. Zweigelt at the Klosterneuburg School of Winemaking by crossing Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent, is one of Austria’s classic red wine varieties. In the gravely alluvial soil of Tattendorf, this species finds the necessary conditions for producing ideally ripe, oval-shaped, hard-skinned and juicy grapes
