Discover the best wines made with Zweigelt as a single variety or as a blend of Podkarpacie.
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.
Subcarpathia (Podkarpacie) in southeast Poland, cradle of the contemporary Polish wine renaissance with over 150 wineries. Frost-resistant hybrids (-20°C) Hibernal, Johanniter, Bianca, Seyval Blanc and Solaris lead aromatic whites with citrus, white flowers and exotic fruit. Regent, Rondo, Léon Millot and Maréchal Foch offer supple reds with red fruit and spiced notes. Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Gris as pioneering plantings.
