Werner Achs Blauer Zweigelt Goldberg 2020 1,5l

Blauer Zweigelt Goldberg by Werner Achs comes from the warm Goldberg slopes around Gols in the Neusiedlersee region. This small estate focuses almost exclusively on red wines from local varieties, with Zweigelt playing the leading role. On the nose the wine shows ripe cherry, dark berry fruit and a touch of sour cherry, rounded off by gentle spice and a hint of chocolate. On the palate it is full and rounded, with juicy fruit, soft ripe tannins and a harmonious overall structure. The texture is dense yet easy to drink, supported by moderate acidity and well-integrated oak. A powerful, fruit-driven Zweigelt from Neusiedlersee that pairs beautifully with rustic dishes, grilled meats or pasta with savoury sauces.

Ageing in used barriques combines ripe cherry fruit with gentle oak spice and powerful structure.
