Scientific DNA testing now tells us that Blaufrankisch originated in Slovenia, but now is one of Austria’s signature red wine varietals and accounts for a large proportion of production in the country’s production (2nd most widely planted behind Zweigelt). Juicy, red berry fruit with notes of earth and warm spices on the nose. The rich (but not jammy or heavy) fruit is balance by lively acidity, more farm-y soil, and a clean finish on the palate.
750ml
Fresh, dark ripe cherries, with blueberries, white pepper, plum, blackberries and a velvety finish. Fine tannins, well integrated acidity and good length.
