Bottle of Czech: Habanske Zweigeltrebe

Full name: Habanske Sklepy Zweigeltrebe
Vintage: 2020
Variety: Zweigelt
ALC: 12.5%
Price: $10

Bought this at a duty free shop on the Austrian border, last stop on the way out of the Czech Republic. Figure to keep my country streak going (heck, I haven't bought an Austrian bottle! mental note!!).

This comes in at 4.98 euro, so 8.81 AUD on the price meter.

Never heard of the variety - Zweigelt?

So what might we be in for.

Let's give it a go.

It's short, no lingering length, and the flavours are light. Main importance for such a wine though, it's smooth. So fits the easy quaff tag okay. It's on price par with the Hungarian Pinot, though this is more gentle and hasn't the distinguishable flavours the Pinot had. If the Pinot is easy drinking, this is easier drinking, with a red wine character and little more.

It'll do (only just perhaps).Read more
