Wines made from Zweigelt grapes of Mikulovska
Discover the best wines made with Zweigelt as a single variety or as a blend of Mikulovska.
Supple and fruity reds with a vivid ruby colour, soft tannins and snappy acidity, with aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, red plum and gentle spices. Made as easy-drinking young reds and as more structured, oak-aged cellar wines. The most planted red variety in Austria (Burgenland, Carnuntum, Neusiedlersee), created in 1922 by Friedrich Zweigelt in Klosterneuburg, a cross of saint laurent × blaufränkisch.
Wine sub-region of South Moravia (Czech Republic) around Mikulov, 4,750 ha dominated by whites. Signature Veltlínské zelené (Grüner Veltliner), introduced by the Romans: lively, precise whites with signature notes of green apple, citrus, white pepper, fresh herbs and a limestone mineral touch, a taut palate - the quintessential Czech aperitif. Also fresh Welschriesling (lemon, flowers), aromatic Müller-Thurgau, chiselled Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc. Loess and limestone soils.
