The Eichenwald DIE RITTEREHRE Zweigelt 2024 with 13% vol. in a 0.75-litre bottle is an Austrian red wine full of character that embodies the essence of the Zweigelt grape variety in its purest and clearest form. Maturation in steel tanks and large wooden barrels enables a perfect balance between fruity freshness and gentle structure, making this vintage both elegant and easy to drink. The wine epitomises the style that the Eichenwald Weine estate has mastered: clear, typical of the variety, precise and finely spiced.


Careful manual harvesting and gentle vinification preserve the unmistakable character of the grape variety, whose origins are deeply rooted in the Austrian wine tradition. The combined ageing in stainless steel and wood produces purity, structure and depth without losing the youthful charm of the vintage. This Zweigelt impresses with its fruity style, harmonious acidity and clear definition - a wine that combines regionality, craftsmanship and quality and is a delight for both everyday drinking and special occasions.

Tasting Note

A brilliant ruby red colour with violet reflections in the glass. Aromas of fresh cherries, sour cherries and a fine spiciness unfold on the nose. On the palate, the lively fruit follows on seamlessly from the flavour, accompanied by a precise acidity that gives the wine tension and vibrancy. The structure remains clear and straightforward, while the texture is straightforward and harmonious. The finish is dry, fresh and long-lasting, with an elegant fruitiness and a fine aftertaste.

Acidity: 5.1 g/l

Residual sugar: 2.8 g/l

Served chilled at around 14-16 °C, it is also an uncomplicated red wine with freshness and character in summer.
