Zb

2006 Burgenland Zweigelt Blaufränkisch

The Gesellmann Zb, a delightful red wine from the renowned Burgenland region, showcases its exceptional character through the harmonious blend of Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch varietals. This vintage from 2006 reveals a medium-bodied profile, offering a wonderful balance of flavors and structure. The wine presents a lively acidity that elevates its overall freshness, making it both mouthwatering and approachable. The tannins are notably firm yet well-integrated, providing a solid backbone to the wine while enhancing its aging potential. Rich fruit intensity shines through with expressive notes of ripe cherries and plums, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness, making this an engaging wine that delights the senses. The dryness of this wine is well-executed, ensuring a pleasing finish that invites another sip.

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.
