The Salzl Zweigelt Selection Neusiedlersee DAC 2023 comes from the Salzl Seewinkelhof winery and is a typical Zweigelt from Burgenland, deeply rooted in the region. The 100 per cent Zweigelt grape variety grows here on Paratschernosem soil consisting of loamy sand with a high gravel content, a soil type that ensures optimal drainage and allows the vines to develop deep roots. The vinification process involves traditional maceration at 30 °C, a maceration period of 14 days and malolactic fermentation, before ageing takes place in stainless steel tanks and, in part, in small oak barrels (fourth-fill). This combination gives the wine a clear structure and well-integrated components, which characterise the typical style of the Neusiedlersee DAC. The recommended serving temperature of 16–18 °C and the drinking window from 2025 to 2031, subject to optimal storage, underline its potential.


The balance between traditional winemaking, regional character and finely calibrated use of oak results in a Zweigelt that is stylistically distinct, harmonious and modern. The 2023 vintage combines structure, elegance and approachability, making it a reliable choice both in a gastronomic setting and for private enjoyment. The careful handling of the grapes and precise vinification highlight the strengths of the grape variety and create a wine that convincingly conveys the DAC-typical style of the Neusiedlersee region.
