Weingut Turk ~ Eiswein vom Blauen Zweigelt 2018 (37.5cl)

Tasting Notes

Based in Lower Austria, Weingut Türk is a producer whose philosophy is to produce long-lived, characterful wines rather than "large volume wines for the short-term market". They practise minimal intervention preferring to let the wines "express the soil, the microclimate and unique vintage character".

Most Austrian ice wine or eiswein is produced from Grüner Veltliner but I love this one from indigenous black grape variety Zweigelt also known as Blauen Zweigelt. Read my ice wine blogpost to discover more about this sweet wine.

This is a beautiful, pale pink and very elegant sweet wine with a luscious mouthfeel. It does not taste extremely sweet as you might expect because it has refeshing acidity to balance the sweetness. Flavours & aromas of cherries and red berries with dried figs and more; this is a complex wine - and delicious!
