Renner - Zweigelt 2021
Burgenland | red, dry |
Excellent entry-level Zweigelt
Zweigelt is one of the varieties that dominates Austrian vineyards, especially around Burgenland. This wine is in a medium-bodied style, ideal for a first encounter with this grape variety.
Stefanie and Susanne Renner aka Rennersistas, two young sisters from Gols in Burgenland. Recently their young brother George joined the team too!
They make small quantities of great wines at the Renner family winery, and their labels with tractors are hard to miss on Instagram. The name of line “Waiting for Tom” was introduced as small tribute to two key (and untimely) Toms form their internships: Tom Lubbe of Domaine Matassa, natural pioneer in Roussillon, France, and Tom Shobbrook (Tommy Ruff) who has a similarly legendary status at Barossa Valley, Australia. Well, for legends you have to wait sometimes. Btw, Susanne is also the life partner of the natural wine star Claus Preisinger, so it's no wonder that sisters are not afraid of longer macerations and avoiding sulfites at all. Super juicy stuff they make, believe us!
