Pushing the Illmitz

Kracher 2008 Zweigelt “Illmitz” (Burgenland) – Oaky zweigelt. What a terrible idea. What an unpleasant wine. (3/11)

Andrzej Daszkiewicz said...: For me zweigelt in barrique almost never works - in fact it's my worst nightmare in Austria, much worse than riesling from a new barrique. There are few slightly oaky zweigelts that are not that bad, but almost all come from very poor soils, definitely not from Neusiedlersee.; 16 March, 2011 18:48
