Polz Zweigelt Styria 2018 12,5% Vol. 0,75l
£10.31
The Polz Zweigelt Steiermark 2018 is a finely structured, classic red wine from a top location in southern Styria that impressively demonstrates how elegantly and full of character the Zweigelt grape variety can be grown in a cooler climate such as Styria. With this vintage, the Polz winery, one of the most renowned family wineries in the region, is bringing a Zweigelt to the bottle that impresses with its finesse, fruitiness and authenticity. The vines grow on mineral, chalky soils on an airy slope – perfect conditions to give the wine a distinctive freshness and lively structure.
The 2018 vintage is characterised by optimal ripening conditions, which is reflected in the clear, varietal aromas of the wine. After selective hand-picking, the Zweigelt is gently vinified and matured in stainless steel tanks to preserve the pure fruit. With a moderate alcohol content of 12.5% vol., it is particularly drinkable, balanced and easily accessible. This Zweigelt is a prime example of Austrian red wine with style and a sense of origin – elegant, purist and absolutely versatile.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the Polz Zweigelt 2018 has a clear ruby red colour with light violet reflections. The nose reveals a fine interplay of aromas of juicy sour cherries, fresh red berries and a subtle spicy note. On the palate, the wine is supple, with ripe cherry fruit, a gentle tannin structure and well-integrated, lively acidity. The finish is delicately fruity, clear and of medium Langs.
Drinking temperature: 14-16 °C
This Zweigelt is an excellent accompaniment to a wide range of dishes: from classic Styrian snacks to roast poultry dishes, grilled vegetables or pasta variations with mushrooms. It also unfolds its elegant fruitiness with lighter meat dishes such as veal escalope or roast lamb. Thanks to its restrained tannin structure and low alcohol content, it is also ideal as a red wine for warmer days or as a stylish accompaniment to a cosy snack with friends. A universal food companion that brings the Styrian wine tradition to life in an enjoyable way.
