The red wine Steinzeiler, vintage 1997 from the winery Weingut Kollwentz has been rated in 2012 with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon, Blaufränkisch from the region Leithaberg in Austria.
Dark ruby colour, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Delicate balsamic nuances of cassis on the nose, a hint of liquorice, delicate herbal savouriness, menthol. Powerful, extract sweetness, characterised by a demanding tannin that appears delicately angular, red berry nuances, delicate bitterness on the finish, salty, appears a little unbalanced at the moment despite its sweet fruit base, still needs time. Nevertheless, without doubt a monument to this early phase of the new Austrian red wine scene.

Full of finesse on the palate, red berry and animating, firm tannin structure, fine hints of citrus fruit, very good length, good ageing potential.
