Pratsch, Niederösterreich (Austria) Zweigelt 2023

Jun 26, 2024

By Wayne Belding

 There is more to Austrian wines than just Grüner Veltliner.  The red and rosê wines from native grapes like Zweigelt are often overlooked.  The Pratsch 2023 Rosé shows a combination of juicy fruit, freshness and elegance one seeks among fine rosé wines.  The aromas are forward and enticing, with pure strawberry, raspberry and cherry fruits underlain by hints of citrus peel and spice.  Juicy, forward and ripe on the palate, its luscious berry and cherry flavors are supported by the lemon zest and subtle spice tones.  It is a perfect choice for warm weather drinking.
