Funkstille Zweigelt is a bright and cheerful representation of this classic Austrian grape. When taste testing, we found it very bright, fruity and easy drinking. It's definitely not a serious wine, unless you were wanting serious fun with friends and family around the barbecue. Try with sticky ribs or lamb chops. I'd even try it with leftover turkey! Delicious chilled too, so a very versatile quaffer.

Oak treatment in barrels and barriques



The dark berried Zweigelt grapes come from selected south facing vineyards, perfectly exposed to the sun, produce a bright, ripe and abundant red wine. Great care and attention is taken with canopy management in order to balance the leaf density of the vines and ensure good air-flow and healthy grapes. Harvest takes place in mid-October. Grapes are vinified at their energy neutral winery; cold-soaked for 5 days after which fermentation starts slowly. Twice-daily pump-overs are carried out for the first 10 days and then the wine is left on the skins for a further 5 days with just one pump-over per day. Malo-lactic fermentation happens simultaneously with the main ferment. The finished wine then goes into old wooden 5,000-8,000 litre barrels, with 10% going into 2-3 year old barriques. The components are then blended prior to bottling.
