joined by her son Paul and Rosenthal bringing the wines stateside

That red slate gives this bone-dry Grosses Gewachs Riesling a distinct personality: more spice

raisins and vanilla with touch of burnt sugar on the finish

and decades of patient investment show in the consistency of the wines

Pour it cold with anything coming off the grill

Diwald Wagram Zweigelt Vom Loss 2023 CS20230713 joined by her son PaulThe Diwald family converted their Wagram vineyards to organic farming in 1976, back when that made you the odd family in the village rather than a pioneer. Two generations later they are still there, on the deep loess hills around Grossriedenthal, and still making one of Austria's most honest reds. Zweigelt is the country's signature red grape, and here it stays light on its feet: juicy, peppery, faintly wild, with tannins that never get in the way.
