Region: Lower Austria, Austria Grape(s): Zweigelt Winemaker: Gerhard J. Lobner Drinks Best: Now - 3 Years
There are some in the wine world that like to champion the false narrative that the only good wine is ‘Estate’ wine - wine made entirely from vineyards owned by the winery. Tell that to the folks at Landhaus Mayer. Winemaker Gerhard Lobner works closely with a small group of talented growers making joint decisions in the vineyards so Gerhard can make the best possible wine at a bargain of a price. This is a delicious, everyday-drinking style of Zweigelt with aromas of black cherry, black pepper, and topsoil. The palate is juicy with black raspberry fruit and more earth and spice.
Pairings: This is a great house red that is super versatile with any meal
