The Kracher Zweigelt 2020, with an alcohol content of 14% vol. and available in a 0.75-litre bottle, is a characterful Austrian red wine that bears the unmistakable hallmark of the renowned Kracher winery. As a grape variety, Zweigelt is regarded as the flagship of Austrian red wine production – and in this interpretation, it combines power, elegance and regional character at the very highest level. The wine impresses with its meticulous vinification, in which the grapes are harvested with great care and gently processed. The ageing process emphasises both fruit and structure in equal measure, resulting in a multi-layered, balanced red wine that perfectly reflects the character of Burgenland.

With the 2020 vintage, Kracher demonstrates once again that the family sets the standard not only in the field of sweet wines but also in the red wine segment. This Zweigelt is a prime example of precise fruit handling, harmonious balance and finely balanced tannins. Thanks to its structure and well-integrated acidity, it unfolds further with every sip, proving that Austrian red wine can hold its own on the international stage.
