Introduction:
The 2023 Groiss Zweigelt Organic Classic is a bright, fruit-driven red from Austria’s Wagram region, offering lively cherry fruit, supple tannins, and effortless charm. It captures the freshness and elegance that define modern Austrian red wines.

Terroir:
The vineyards are located in the Wagram region of Lower Austria, known for its rolling loess hills and mineral-rich, well-draining soils. These conditions, combined with a continental climate marked by warm days and cool nights, allow Zweigelt to achieve ripe fruit expression while preserving bright acidity and balance.

Appearance:
Medium ruby with a soft purple edge; clear and vibrant.

Nose:
Expressive aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate accented by a hint of violet, white pepper, and a touch of forest herbs.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied and juicy. Fresh cherry and red berry fruit dominate, supported by soft spice and fine, polished tannins. The texture is smooth and balanced, with a subtle earthy undertone providing depth.

Finish:
Clean, crisp, and dry. Red fruit and spice linger with a touch of minerality, leaving a refreshing and elegant aftertaste.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Meat dish: Roast pork tenderloin with herbs or grilled chicken with paprika

• Vegetarian option: Mushroom risotto or roasted root vegetables with thyme

• Cheese pairing: Mild Gouda, Fontina, or fresh goat cheese

Overall Impression:
The 2023 Groiss Zweigelt Organic Classic is a graceful expression of Austria’s signature red grape. Its juicy fruit, balanced acidity, and silky texture make it as versatile as it is enjoyable. Drink now slightly chilled for maximum freshness or cellar for 2–3 years for added complexity.
