2005 Feiler-Artinger Zweigelt Beerenauslese from K&L. This is a lovely, lighter Austrian dessert wine crafted from the red-wine grape Zweigelt. Winemaker Kurt Feiler recommends pairing it with chocolate desserts. 11.5% alcohol with residual sugar of 96.9 g/l, though this is not in the least bit cloying. The Feiler-Artinger winery was established in Rust in the early 1900’s by Gustav and Karoline Feiler. After the second world war, they were the first to restart the tradition of harvesting grapes afflicted with noble rot for the production of Ausbruch. In 1955 Gustav's son Hans took the reins and steered things well, and since 1994 the third generation, in the form of Hans' eldest son Kurt, has stepped into line.
Good post about the wine.... now if I could only remember what it tasted like....It was good though!
