The Salzl Sacris Zweigelt Reserve Neusiedlersee DAC 2019 is an impressive single-varietal red wine made from 100% Zweigelt grapes that shows the full potential of this leading Austrian grape variety at the highest level. Produced by the renowned Salzl Seewinkelhof winery in Illmitz, this wine epitomises the combination of regional identity, modern winemaking and international standards like no other.

The vines for the Sacris thrive on loamy sandy soils with a high gravel content, the so-called paratschernosem, a soil composition that gives the wine structure and depth. Vinification is carried out traditionally by maceration in stainless steel tanks at 30 °C with a maceration period of 18 days. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures for 24 months in new oak barrels, which gives it density, elegance and a fine roasted flavour. Sealed with a natural cork and with ageing potential until 2031, the Salzl Sacris Zweigelt Reserve is a powerful, long-lasting DAC red wine from Burgenland that will delight collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the wine is a deep purple-red colour with violet hues. The bouquet is intense and complex with aromas of black cherries, dark berries, dark chocolate, vanilla, cedar and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, it is dense, concentrated and powerful, with ripe tannins, a harmonious acidity structure and an elegantly integrated wood note. The finish is long, spicy and velvety - an expressive Zweigelt with depth and great character.
