The grape variety
Zweigelt was bred in Klosterneuburg in 1922 from St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch and is now Austria’s most widely planted red variety. Its range runs from young, easy wines without oak to powerful, longer-aged ones, so the variety name alone does not set a style.
What house wine means
House wine originally meant the wine the grower kept for his own use. In restaurants it is the wine of the house served by the glass or the jug, red, white or rosé.
Our tip
An everyday Zweigelt is best served at 14 to 16 °C, in summer after half an hour in the fridge. It goes with pasta, roast poultry, grilled food or a Jause of bacon, Verhackertes and semi-hard cheese.
