2009 Zweigelt – BC VQA Fraser Valley
 |
It’s our homegrown grape with Austrian roots. This challenging to pronounce but easy to drink red wine proudly bares our “Backyard Vineyard” label, because it comes from our Abbotsford Vineyard. A big wine that’s fruit-forward and a bit of a tart, our zweigelt is a bundle of berries at the height of fruit season. It’s the kind of tart-sweetness you taste in those big super ripe cherries…yum. It is rounded out with just a splash of Black Sage merlot. Food: Meat lovers, unite. Whether it’s a nicely seasoned steak, some pork tenderloin or even a meat-esque portobello burger, this wine shines when it’s paired with a little something to munch on. Or devour. Your choice. Silver medal winner at the 2011 Los Angeles International Wine Competition and 2011 Pacific Rim International Competition.
