The Salzl Zweigelt Selection Neusiedlersee DAC 2023 comes from the Salzl Seewinkelhof winery and represents a typical, regionally deeply rooted Zweigelt from Burgenland. The 100 per cent Zweigelt grape variety grows here on Paratschernosem made of loamy sand with a high gravel content, a soil type that ensures optimal drainage and pronounced grape variety depth. Vinification involves traditional maceration at 30 °C, a maceration period of 14 days and malolactic fermentation before ageing in steel tanks and partly in small oak barrels (four barrels). This combination gives the wine a clear structure and well-integrated components that characterise the typical style of the Neusiedlersee DAC. The recommended drinking temperature of 16-18 °C and the ageing period of 2025 to 2031 under optimal storage conditions emphasise its potential.


The balance between traditional cellar work, regional typicity and finely tuned use of wood results in a Zweigelt that is stylistically clear, harmonious and modern. The 2023 vintage combines structure, elegance and accessibility, making it a reliable companion both in a gastronomic environment and for private enjoyment. The careful processing of the grapes and precise vinification emphasise the strengths of the grape variety and create a wine that convincingly conveys the DAC-typical style of the Neusiedlersee region.
