In the capable hands of Hans and Anita Nittnaus, Zweigelt becomes something complex, quaffable and compelling, with notes of strawberry, red cherry, and black pepper. Austria remains one of our favorite destinations for insanely well-priced wines, and Burgenland is the country's best region for red wine. Zippy, fresh and endlessly versatile, try this with grilled sausages, pasta pomodoro or cured meats.

More about Nittnaus

Pioneers of Blaufrankisch in Burgenland. Hans and Anita Nittnaus steered the family estate (since 1927) away from international varieties toward Blaufrankisch and Zweigelt—grapes that express terroir more faithfully. They farm biodynamically on the Leithaberg DAC, pulling wines of depth and transparency from schist and limestone. Influential in making Austria's Burgenland a destination for serious red wine.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

Nittnaus’ spectacular Zweigelt comes from vines planted in the loess of the Parndorf plain, between the Leitha hills and Lake Neusiedl. Spontaneously fermented, it spends 12 months aging in used 500-liter oak casks from the renowned Stockinger cooperage, and is bottled with minimal sulfur. This delivers plenty of concentration and tension on its modest 12.5%-alcohol frame, with spicy purple fruits and a beam of lifted acidity.
