Red wines: Blauburger
Synonyms:
None
Wine:
The Austrian red wine variety was developed in 1923 by Dr. Fritz Zweigelt at the Klosterneuburg Vinicultural College and is a crossing of Portugieser and Blaufränkisch. This rather undemanding variety ripens early, is especially suited for cooler microclimates, and is a versatile and dependable blending partner. Its intense, dark color is favored together with paler varieties. The bouquet is rather neutral displaying discreet berry fruit and while flavorful, the variety displays litte tannin content.
