Zierfandler is a grape variety used to make white wine in the Thermenregion of Austria. It is also known as Spätrot (late red) because it turns red just before harvest time. It is traditionally blended with Rotgipfler but is increasingly being sold as a single varietal wine. Zierfandler wines are typically elegant and quite sweet but with lots of balancing acidity and a nutty bouquet of pistachios and almonds. They are capable of ageing well.
