Details and technical informations about Winery Mount Salem's Zweigelt.
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 wine region of Hunter
Historic Australian region in New South Wales (Lower Hunter, volcanic soils, warm and humid climate tempered by coastal proximity): Semillon is a world-famous king in whites, harvested early — crisp, light, with citrus notes of lemon, lime and green apple evolving into honey, toast and hazelnut after long cellaring. Shiraz is king in reds: medium-bodied with red and black berries, spices and fine tannins, developing leathery and earthy complexity in bottle, recognised longevity, elegant perfume.
The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud
Australia's 2nd wine state with diverse regions. Iconic Hunter Valley: a Sémillon unlike any other, straight, low-alcohol dry whites with vivid citrus when young, evolving over 10-20 years toward honey, toast and lanolin. Medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz, spicy and earthy (leather, red fruits). Also round Chardonnay and aromatic Verdelho.
The word of the wine: Mercaptan
Organic compound resulting from the combination of alcohol and sulphide (H2S) producing an unpleasant odour reminiscent of town gas and rotten eggs.
