Fuchs, Blauer Zweigelt, Trocken Selection (1L)

Food Suggestions: Perfect with any Vietnamese beef dish.

Origin: Burgenland, Austria

In 1922, Zweigelt was created by researcher Frank Zweigelt, by crossing an Austrian grape called Blaufränkish, which gives the wine its acidity, with St. Laurent, which imparts bright cherry flavors and a smooth texture. Zweigelt is planted throughout Austria, with the most expressive wines coming from the Neusiedlersee DAC of Burgenland, in the easternmost part of country.

While most Zweigelt styles are dry, the grape is also used to make sweeter styles such as strohwein and ice wine.
