Wine Description:
Weingut Zahel Orange T is a rare and unique wine produced by Weingut Zahel in Vienna, Austria. Made from 100% Orangetraube, a grape variety closely related to the Traminer family, this wine stands out as the only mono-varietal Orangetraube in existence. Although the grape was officially recognized in 1954, it is not on the register of permitted varieties for the Vienna DAC, which limits the labeling to "Orange T" without a visible vintage, identified only by lot number. Weingut Zahel's commitment to reviving forgotten varieties makes this a rare gem for adventurous wine enthusiasts. Pros:
- Unique and distinctive flavor profile
Cons:
- Limited availability in some regions
Wine Expert Note:
Weingut Zahel Orange T opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe peaches, apricots, and delicate honeysuckle, offering a fresh and inviting aroma. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and lively, delivering layers of stone fruit flavors with a juicy, almost succulent quality. Hints of citrus zest and subtle floral notes add complexity, while a light touch of sweetness balances the bright acidity. The finish is smooth and clean, with lingering peach and floral nuances. Despite its name, this is not an "orange wine," but rather a crisp, aromatic white with a beautifully balanced fruit-forward character that reflects its rare Orangetraube origins. Perfect for pairing with light fare or enjoyed on its own.Taste Flavor
