Rosé vom Zweigelt 2024

Wine Description for Zweigelt Rosé 2024 from Fritsch

Colour & Appearance

Luminous, intense rosé with violet reflections – a colour depth rarely found in Austrian Zweigelts at this price point. The glass displays brilliant clarity.

Nose

Engaging and multi-layered: sour cherries and pomegranate seeds meet redcurrants and a hint of rhubarb. Beneath lie floral nuances and a subtle herbal spice that lends the wine complexity. Fresh, direct, unpretentious.

Palate

Juicy and precise with stimulating spice that harmonises perfectly with the red fruit aromatics. A fine, natural fruit sweetness balances the vibrant acidity – at 12.5% alcohol the wine remains elegant and inviting. Medium body, silky texture.

Finish

Surprisingly long and persistent for a rosé in this category. The cherry fruit lingers, accompanied by a fine spice note.

Terroir & Origin

From the Wagram, one of Austria’s most exciting regions for Zweigelt. The loess soils and Pannonian climate give the wine its characteristic fruit intensity whilst maintaining freshness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Zweigelt, Austria’s most important red wine variety, here vinified as a rosé. The brief skin contact extracts just enough colour and structure without compromising freshness – classic, clean winemaking from Weingut Fritsch.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A versatile food companion: perfect with grilled salmon, vitello tonnato, antipasti, summer rolls or goat’s cheese salad. Also a delight on its own on the terrace.

Special Features

The value for money is remarkable – a rosé with substance and character that easily holds its own against considerably more expensive wines. The 2024 vintage shows itself to be already accessible and harmonious.
