Cuvée Privée zweigelt-portugieser 2022
Weingut RablRudolf Rabl's basic red wine. Every year Rudolf makes a blend of Zweigelt and Portugieser. A red wine meant for everyday life and entirely based on the abundant fruit. Little tannin and simply a pleasure to drink. In smell and taste, a lot of red and black fruit with a rather firm start in the taste. Much concentration and supple tannins. Refined long aftertaste with soft acids. Drink the wine with a weekday meal, a piece of red meat or a pasta.

About the winemaker
One of Austria's most successful winegrowers in recent years is without a doubt Rudolf Rabl. A winegrower who has managed to perfectly combine tradition and progress. Rudolf has several harvest moments. 70% of the harvest is first picked and vinified per vineyard. The remaining part is later picked and vinified under the name Vinum Optimum. Rudolf Rabl is an avid supporter of spontaneous fermentation and has been able to refine and implement this more and more in his wines in recent years. Very long contact with the peel is also his way of working. Rudolf Rabl's wines in our range give a very good idea of the possibilities that his wines offer the gastronomy.
