Rainer Christ in the vineyard on the Bisamberg Rainer ChristWinemaker, Weingut Christ Fruit Body Elegant

Fruit & silk. This wine is the result of a harmonious partnership: a fine cooperation of special vineyards breathes life into it. It is a dialogue between generations that unfolds in the glass. Old vines give the cuvée a venerable structure, backbone and profound substance. The middle-aged vines, on the other hand, contribute that seductive, juicy fruit that embraces the palate from the very first moment.

Anyone who shies away from heavy astringency in a red wine will be gently surprised here. This Zweigelt is neither harsh nor astringent. Instead, it shines with a highly elegant stature and is endowed with incredibly silky „cashmere“ tannins. Paired with a pleasantly moderate alcohol content, it glides over the palate full of finesse.

Such a work is not created overnight. Careful, respectful ageing for 24 months in used wooden barrels gives it the calm it needs to weave all its nuances together perfectly. A red wine of timeless elegance that proves true greatness often lies in a gentle touch.

The ruby-red chameleon: whether a young and fruit-driven wine or a massively structured premium red, Blauer Zweigelt is always a pleasure.
Taste: soft, velvety, fruity

At WEINGUT CHRIST in Wien-Jedlersdorf, Zweigelt covers around 10 % of the vineyard area and is planted in 2 different sites. A plot with old vines around 50 years old, which always delivers deeply structured wines, is superbly complemented by a younger one that shines above all with its charming fruit.

Zweigelt is an Austrian crossing and fairly widespread in all wine-growing regions, as it is Austria's most important red grape variety by area. This wine will probably reach its peak in about 1 to 2 years and should hold its level for several more years.

Contains sulphites.

Dense red colour with a delicate violet rim. On the nose it already shows lovely maturity, notes of heart cherry, liquorice and cassis. Elegant on the palate, good length with ripe tannin, sour cherry, iron, meaty. A great companion to barbecue.

The vineyards lie on Vienna's Bisamberg. Flysch, a sandstone compressed over millions of years and rich in lime and minerals, shapes the soils and gives the wines nobility and elegant freshness.
