Order of Malta Blue Zweigelt

Zweigelt from the winery of the Order of Malta – this is Austrian red wine tradition with a clear signature: juicy fruit, well-structured tannins, uncomplicated drinking pleasure.

The Malteser Ritterorden estate winery in the Lower Austrian wine region is one of Austria's most historically established wineries. Here, Zweigelt – the country's most widely planted red wine grape – demonstrates what this variety can achieve in the right environment: fruitiness without heaviness, structure without harshness.

In the glass, it shines with a deep ruby ​​garnet color. The nose is dominated by blueberry and ripe black cherry , underpinned by a hint of red berries. On the palate, it is juicy and full-bodied, with softly integrated tannins – resulting in an elegant texture without any harsh edges. The finish is medium-long, fruity, and pleasantly dry.
