This is what good wine from the Zierfandler grape tastes like

Zierfandler comes from Austria's Thermenregion. It produces fairly full-bodied white wines. The grape has a lot of sugar but also plenty of refreshing acidity, which returns in the flavor and in its warm, somewhat nutty aroma. They can often be kept relatively long.

Zierfandler has nothing to do with the dark-skinned Zinfandel grape used to make powerful red wines in California. The mix-up was probably caused by a carelessly documented shipload of grapes transported to the United States in the nineteenth century.

Zierfandler is a pale-skinned grape from Austria's Thermenregion, just like its best friend, Rotgipfler. Together they are often blended into the region's world-famous 'Spätrot-Rotgipfler'. Spätrot is the local nickname for the Zierfandler grape, which suddenly turns 'rot' (red) 'spät' (late) in its ripening.
