Crafted as a chuggable red wine, Puszta Libre comes in a skinny, easy-to-hold, Riesling-shaped bottle that will be emptied soon after opening. The blend of 60% Zweigelt, 20% St. Laurent, and 20% Pinot Noir is grown in the Burgenland region, fermented with ambient yeast, and vinified to 11.5% ABV, yielding a lively, lighter wine with fine tannins, bright acidity, and crunchy blackberry/cranberry fruit. The wine is delicious, but the label pops too. "Puszta" (poo-stah) refers to the plains that were once part of neighboring Hungary, and "Gekühlt Servieren" means to serve it chilled with grilled meats, sausages, sandwiches, Asian fare, and Thanksgiving classics. We also carry Claus Preisinger's 'Kieselstein' Zweigelt and Puszta Blanca.
