Discover the grape variety: Zweigelt
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.

The word of the wine: Muscat blanc à petits grains
A white grape variety cultivated since antiquity on the shores of the Mediterranean, it is considered the noblest of the muscats. It is mainly used to make sweet wines, often from mutage. In France, it is the sole variety used in many natural sweet wines: muscat-de-frontignan, muscat-de-mireval, muscat-de-lunel, muscat-de-saint-jean-de-minervois, muscat-de-beaumes-de-venise, muscat-du-cap-corse. Combined with Muscat d'Alexandrie, it gives Muscat-de-Rivesaltes. It is also used to make sparkling white wines (clairette-de-die; moscato d'asti and asti spumante in Italy) and dry wines (alsace-muscat). Powerfully aromatic and complex, its wines evoke fresh grapes, roses, exotic fruits, citrus fruits and spices.
