The IRO Zweigelt Ried Ungerberg 2023 is an expressive, elegantly structured single-vineyard wine from Burgenland that impressively demonstrates the great potential of the Zweigelt grape variety. The grapes come from the renowned single vineyard Ried Ungerberg, a top location with particularly heat-retaining, mineral soils that are ideal for the ripeness and expressiveness of this typical Austrian grape variety.
The IRO winery processes the selectively harvested grapes with the utmost care. After a traditional mash fermentation at a controlled temperature, the wine is matured in small oak barrels, which gives it depth, complexity and a fine woody spiciness. With an alcohol content of 14% vol., a natural cork stopper and a smooth, fruity character, the Zweigelt Ried Ungerberg 2023 is convincing both when young and with storage potential for several years.

Tasting notes:
In the glass, the wine is a dense ruby red with violet reflections. The nose opens with ripe heart cherries, stewed plums, dark berries and a subtle spiciness, accompanied by fine roasted aromas, vanilla and a hint of cedar wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, velvety and structured, with ripe tannins, fine acidity and a harmonious, elegant finish that combines both fruit and finesse. A Zweigelt with depth, origin and signature.
The IRO Zweigelt Ried Ungerberg is an excellent accompaniment to roast or braised beef, saddle of veal, stuffed peppers, herb-crusted lamb or savory casseroles and mushroom dishes. It also unfolds its aromatic diversity with spicy cheese, duck breast or a winegrower's snack with bacon, cheese and bread. Serve at 16-18 °C in a red wine glass - perfect for culinary evenings, autumn menus or as an expressive accompaniment to meat and game.
