The unusual Zweigelt grape is widespread in just one place: Austria. But here on New Zealand’s South Island it clearly thrives in the hands of Austrian-born winemaker Hermann Seifried. And how enticing it is: dense dark fruit aromas lead into flavours of plum, Christmas cake and mocha. Generous tannins balance the succulent fruit. No wonder it’s a Seifried family favourite
