Diwald Wagram Zweigelt Vom Loss 2023 CS20230713 and decades of patient investmentThe 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.
