From Austria's Burgenland, Zeronimo Zweigelt is made from 100% Zweigelt grown on vines more than 50 years old. It spends 15 months in small oak barrels before being gently dealcoholized using vacuum distillation and aroma recovery, helping preserve the character of the original wine. Blackberry and dark cherry meet vanilla, wood spice, rosemary and black tea, with lively acidity, fine tannins and a dry, savory finish.
Why We Love It
A proper Austrian red that happens to be non-alcoholic. Zeronimo gives us dark fruit, tannin, oak and that savory little something that makes you reach for another sip. It has enough structure to hold its own at dinner, but doesn't take itself terribly seriously. Pizza on Tuesday? Absolutely. Mushroom ragù and the good napkins? Also yes.
Give it something savory: Mushroom ragù, lamb chops, grilled vegetables, tomato-based pasta, pizza, miso-glazed eggplant or mushroom risotto with plenty of Parmesan. Its dark fruit, acidity and tannin make it particularly good with a little smoke or umami.
