Netzl 2013 Classic Zweigelt (Carnuntum)

Country: Austria / Classic
Variety: Zweigelt Carnuntum
Winery: Netzl /

While this needs a little air, the nose is spicy, full of that Zweigelt pepper, with subtle but gorgeously aromatic notes of violets and black cherries. This is understated and seductive. The floral, spiced fruit continues throughout the slender but concentrated palate and makes for a lovely, clean, evocative and lasting finish. It’s elegance rather than power that convinces here. Hurray to that.
