Flavour profile

Although Leth has specialized in white Austrian wines for 60 years, it also excels at producing red wines. Take this Leth Blauer Zweigelt Klassik as an example. Austria went through a difficult time around the 1980s. Due to a massive sulfite disaster, the Austrian wine market completely collapsed. Fortunately, it has recovered. Wineries like Leth have contributed significantly to this. For example, Weingut Leth has stopped using pesticides on its vineyards since the mid-1990s. This is what determines the purity of its wines.

From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

Although Leth has specialized in white Austrian wines for 60 years, it also excels at producing red wines. Take this Leth Blauer Zweigelt Klassik as an example. Austria went through a difficult time around the 1980s. Due to a massive sulfite disaster, the Austrian wine market completely collapsed. Fortunately, it has recovered. Wineries like Leth have contributed significantly to this. For example, Weingut Leth has stopped using pesticides on its vineyards since the mid-1990s. This is what determines the purity of its wines.

Zweigelt is the red equivalent of Gruner Veltliner, the white grape variety that has dominated Austrian vineyards for decades. Zweigelt is the leading red grape variety. It thrives in Austria's varied climate. It also imparts a great deal of intensity to the wines, leading them to be considered true powerhouses. Because Doro Weingut Leth doesn't age its Zweigelt in oak, it remains wonderfully accessible and appealing to the average wine drinker.

With this Austrian wine, Leth proves they're more than just any winery. They're a pioneer, a trailblazer, and a major success for Austrian viticulture. This Leth Blauer Zweigelt Klassik is living proof of that. A robust, distinctive glass of red wine that will make you fall in love with Austria. Your senses will be in overdrive as you discover this wine. Be careful not to let gluttony take over: this red wine is so incredibly delicious. You'll discover cherries, sour cherry, and red berries, as well as complex nuances of pepper and chocolate. Despite its attractive price, it's a delightful surprise for any wine drinker.
