Weingut Familie Nigl Zweigelt Rose 2013
Nigl (rhymes with beagle) 2013 Zweigelt Rosé, Kremstal | 12% | A penetrating nose of red berries and white pepper, this is a punchy, piney rosé with a resinous and chirping texture that is fragrant, and flavorsome of firm alpen strawberries, firm white raspberries, watermelon with limes squeezed all over it –so refreshing and yet creamy. Uniquely charming, Nigl’s rosé is but proving our ever developing theory that Zweigelt is capable of many things –especially Summer entertaining.
Wine review by Nicholas Livingston, June 10th, 2014 (Flower)
...or as they say at Nigl (remember it rhymes with Smeagol, Klarer heller Beerenduft mit feiner würzigen Noten, saftig, leicht und süffig gestaltet, lebendige Säure mit trinkanimierendem Fluss, ausgewogen knackig, mittelgewichtig. ...er, that's... roughly "clear bright berry fragrance with subtle spicy notes, designed juicy, light and easy to drink, lively acidity with drinking animating flow, balanced crisp, medium-bodied."
Food Pairings
There are few red wines as perfect with lighter, casual foods. Chicken, pizza, pasta, burgers and most takeout.
