Salzl Seewinkelhof, Zweigelt, Neusiedlersee DAC, Burgenland, Austria 2019

Cherry cans, smoked prunes and a touch of soy sauce on the nose, followed by a savoury palate of salted plum, black cherry and liquorice spices. Partially aged in small used barrels, it has plenty of elegance and velvety tannins. Black coffee and dates linger on, morish and delicious. A good-value single varietal Zweigelt that well-demonstrates the potential of this grape.
