August 18, 2019 - 100 percent Blauer Zweigelt (an Austrian crossing of Blaufränkisch and Sankt Laurent, created by Dr. Friedrich Zweigelt in 1922 at the Wine Institute of Klosterneuburg) from the Wagram region, that was sourced from three different vineyard plots, hence the name ‘Tregrande Reserve’. Maturation: eighteen months in French barriques. Color: youthful cherry-red with violet hues. Bouquet: pleasant nose of blueberry and stewed red fruit, notes of vanilla and oak. On the palate: a medium-bodied wine with a smooth texture and fine tannins, but the fruit is completely overpowered by the oak. In my opinion, the wine would have been better with less oak influence. Drinking window: now–2022.
100 percent Blauer Zweigelt-wijn (een Oostenrijkse kruising van Blaufränkisch en Sankt Laurent, gecreëerd in 1922 door Dr. Friedrich Zweigelt in het wijnbouwinstituut van Klosterneuburg) uit de regio Wagram, afkomstig uit drie verschillende wijngaardpercelen, vandaar de naam 'Tregrande Reserve'. Rijping: achttien maanden in Franse barriques. Kleur: jeugdig kersrood met paarse tinten. Bouquet: aangename neus van bosbessen en gestoofd rood fruit, nuances van vanille en eik. In de mond: een middelkrachtige wijn met een zachte textuur en fijne tannines, maar het fruit wordt volledig overweldigd door de dominantie van de eik. Volgens mij zou de wijn met wat minder houtlagering beter drinkbaar zijn. Te drinken: nu–2022.
