NV Weingut Markus Huber Sparkling Rosé, Austria, Wine Review

This is a sparkling Rose blend of Zweigelt and Pinot Noir. It is meant to be a light hearted, fun wine and it achieves that and more. Pale pink in color. There is a nice mousse of larger bubbles that disappears quickly. The nose has cherries, cherry juice and a touch of lanolin. On the palate, this is sweet. Light bodied with apples and cherries. Shorter finish. This is refreshing and a nice end of the day/start to an evening wine. Drink now. This is very food friendly and will work well with poultry, fish and lighter foods.

Made from Zweigelt which is now being called Rotburger more often (Dr. Zweigelt the creator of the grape was a Nazi). This is relatively affordable and a fun wine. Ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has cherries, char and some black cherries. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this has fruit forward cherry fruit. Tasty. Nice finish. This will work better with food and would be great with pizza. Drink over the next few years.

This is their basic Zweigelt which is a cross between St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch. Magenta in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with black cherries, spice and slight herbs. Medium bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, this is a simple, easy drinking wine. Black cherry fruit. Nice finish. This is nice on its own and will work with a (veggie) burger and fries. Drink over the next five years.

Disgorged March 2022. A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, and Grüner Veltliner. Golden in color, clear and bright. A nice mousse of small bubbles. On the nose, light toast, hay, chalk and some apricot. Frothy. On the palate, crisp with nice peach notes. What seems like just a hint of sweetness. Minerality. Some depth. Long finish. This is refreshing and very food friendly. Drink over the next few years. This would be a great wine to sit with a bowl of (buttered) popcorn and watch a really good movie.
