The Kracher Zweigelt 2020 with 14% vol. in a 0.75-litre bottle presents itself as an Austrian red wine full of character that bears the unmistakable signature of the renowned Kracher winery. As a grape variety, Zweigelt is considered the flagship of Austrian red wine production - and in this interpretation it combines strength, elegance and regional typicity at the highest level. The wine impresses with its careful vinification, in which the grapes are harvested with great care and processed gently. The ageing process emphasises 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 shows once again that the family sets standards not only in the sweet wine segment, but also in the red wine segment. This Zweigelt is a prime example of precise fruit work, harmonious balance and finely tuned tannins. With its structure and well-integrated acidity, it unfolds more and more with every sip and proves that Austrian red wine of international calibre can impress.
