Trockenbeerenauslese

2010 Burgenland Zweigelt

The Michael Opitz Trockenbeerenauslese is a captivating red wine from the renowned Burgenland region, specifically showcasing the unique characteristics of the Zweigelt varietal. This 2010 vintage presents an exquisite depth and richness that envelops the palate with its luscious fruit flavors. It exudes a vibrant acidity, which beautifully balances the intense fruit notes, allowing for a harmonious experience with every sip. The tannins are notably firm yet refined, contributing to the overall structure and longevity of the wine. As a trockenbeerenauslese, this wine is crafted from late-harvest grapes affected by noble rot, resulting in a beautifully concentrated sweetness that remains elegant and not overly cloying, making it an ideal companion for rich desserts or a delightful treat on its own. With its stunning profile and attention to detail, this wine truly exemplifies the artistry of Burgenland winemaking.

Austria may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of quality wine, but this slice of central Europe is home to crisp whites and elegant reds that are well worth seeking out. While many classic grapes are grown here, there are exceptional wines made from varieties you rarely see anywhere else, such as white Grüner Veltliner. Spicy and herbaceous, this wine combines notes of white pepper and asparagus with flint and apple. As for reds, the most planted is Zweigelt. This grape is a hybrid of two other local varietals: the spicy Blaufränkisch and light St. Laurent. It combines the best of both worlds with flavors of chocolate, black pepper and fresh raspberry.
