Mailberger Blauer Zweigelt dry 1.0L

An approachable Zweigelt from the northern Weinviertel region – ruby ​​red with violet highlights, uncomplicated and easy to drink.

The Malteser Ritterorden (Order of Malta) estate winery cultivates the vineyards around Mailberg in the Lower Austrian Weinviertel region – an area with a continental climate, loess-rich soils, and a long winemaking tradition. The Order is among the oldest winegrowers in Austria; the combination of ecclesiastical sponsorship and professional viticulture shapes the style: solid craftsmanship without ostentation.

In the glass, the Zweigelt displays its typical varietal profile: sour cherry and dark berries on the nose, accompanied by a delicate spicy note – subtly peppery, slightly earthy. On the palate, it is soft and medium-bodied, with low tannin pressure and lively acidity. The finish is fruity and short – not a wine for aging, but a reliable everyday companion.

Serving suggestion: Drink now, do not store. Serve slightly chilled (16–17 °C). Pairs well with Wiener Schnitzel, grilled sausages, pasta with tomato sauce, or a hearty lentil stew.
