Weingut R&A Pfaffl 'The Dot Austrian Cherry' Zweigelt 2023

This is like the bastard love child of Pinot Noir & Syrah. Two of my (and any self respecting winos) favourite varieties. Loaded with juicy cherry (obviously) with raspberry and blueberry playing second fiddle. Violets, white pepper and thyme linger nicely in the background. This is a soft, lighter wine, but there is surprising power and juiciness, making the wine feel friendly and warm. Unctuous, gluggable and terrifically moreish.

'The Dot' wines are from famous producer, Weingut R&A Pfaffl. The purpose of the range is to offer a dynamic, fruit forward selection of wines which are labelled after their dominant fruit character. Encompassing clean, modern, easily understood labels and accessible price point these have quickly become a highly sort after range of wines. 

Weingut R&A Pfaffl are a family winery run by siblings; Roman Joseph Pfaffl and Heidi Fischer. Their philosophy is to respect management of natural resources and environment. Meticulous canopy management, manual selection of grapes, and sensitivity for the vines’ needs make it possible to cope with the vagaries of the weather and produce top quality wines year on year.
