2021 Bienenfresser®
Göttlesbrunner Zweigelt
CarnuntumDAC
When the exotic bee-eater (Merops apiaster, or Bienenfresser in German) was spotted in the vineyards in Göttlesbrunn in 1986, we just had to name Pitnauer’s flagship Zweigelt after our feathered friend. And this bird and its beautiful plumage have been the emblem of our commitment to producing great red wines ever since.
Over the years, Bienenfresser® has won a host of awards at home and abroad, and now enjoys cult status. This testimony to the quality of our work also gives us the incentive to keep on creating exceptional Zweigelts that live up to the grape’s excellent reputation. The 2021 harvest was the 37th Bienenfresser® vintage.
