"Ripe, black cherry scents pervade the nose of this wine. The palate is full of that same generous fruit, but balances it well thanks to ample freshness. This will be delicious slightly chilled."
"Bright, tart red cherry on the nose suggests ease from the start. The light body does not disappoint and is a picture of freshness. Juicy cherry is the main attraction on the smooth, translucent body. This will work perfectly when chilled as a red refreshment. - Anne KREBIEHL MW"
"The nose is shy at first but, with some air, reveals juicy cherry notes. The palate is easy but juicy, fresh and packed with ripe vivid cherry. It's almost like fruit juice for adults, but with a lovely balance and dry finish.- Anne KREBIEHL MW"
"A cross between the St. Laurent and Blaufrankisch grapes, this 100% Zweigelt offers mouth-filling notes of cranberry cocoa: silky and round with an abundant acid structure. Floral notes are heavenly but its distinctive taste of soil is evident on the finish."
"The 2021 Hugl Zweigelt 1 liter is based on 100% Zweigelt that spent 5 months on lees in larger oak barrels. It has juicy black cherries and leafy herb notes in a medium-bodied, earthy, yet complex and enjoyable style. It would be a solid house red for near term drinking."
