Weingut Zull is a boutique, family-owned and run winery in Austria's cool continental Weinviertel region. The Zull family farm their 18ha of vineyards sustainably, eschewing the use of artificial herbicides and fertilisers to help protect soil health. This is made from Austria's most planted red grape varietal, Zweigelt. The grape's natural ripe sour cherry character and crisp acidity are complemented by subtle spice, dark chocolate and firm tannin structure from 12 months ageing in used oak barrels. The long finish offers elegant juicy red fruits. With its moderate alcohol level (13%), fresh fruit profile and good acidity, this wine could be slightly chilled and served with a BBQ on a Summer afternoon.
