Bright, ripe, and bursting with dark berry flavours, Funkstille Zweigelt 2022 is the perfect expression of Austria's renowned grape. Sourced from south-facing vineyards that soak up plenty of sunshine, this red wine is a true crowd-pleaser, offering abundant notes of red cherries, plums, and vibrant berry fruits. The careful balance of leaf density and airflow ensures the grapes remain healthy and flavourful throughout the growing season.

Harvested in mid-October, the Zweigelt grapes are vinified at Funkstille’s energy-neutral winery. A 5-day cold soak kicks off the process, followed by a slow fermentation with twice-daily pump-overs for the first 10 days. After another 5 days on the skins, the wine undergoes a natural malolactic fermentation for added depth. Aged in a mix of large old barrels and a small percentage in 2-3 year-old barriques, the result is a joyful, medium-bodied red with ripe, light tannins and a touch of spice to round off the finish.

Some information about your order

Please let us know if you would like a specific note included with your order. We tend to wrap all bottles in paper and reuse wine cases for shipping to keep our carbon footprint low.
Shipping should be automatically adjusted depending on your postcode. Free delivery covers all Liverpool postcodes, and the following Cheshire postcodes: CH41-49, CH60-63. Find out more on our Deliveries page.
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
If something is wrong with your order or it's not what you expected, please get in touch and we'll sort it out. We'll look to rectify any mistakes where possible.
