CARNUNTUM | ÖSTERREICH
Rubin Carnuntum 2019
ZWEIGELT a great popular favourite, and justifiably so. Seductive aromas of cherries and dark berries, soft and luxuriant on the palate, with a whiff of chocolate and a long finish.

Marvellous with game dishes, or beef every way imaginable – boiled, grilled, sautéed, stewed or raw as carpaccio. Fresh parsley or coriander support the lively nature of the wine.
