Wine information
The Blaufränkisch grapes come from vineyards characterised by limestone and slate in and around Jois am Leithagebirge. The grapes were harvested from mid to late September. After manual harvesting and sorting, the Blaufränkisch was fermented spontaneously in wooden fermentation racks and, after slow pressing in a basket press, aged in used Tonneaux.
Color
Light transparent ruby red with purple reflections
Nose
The 2020 Blaufränkisch Lime & Slate is a wine with dark fruity, spicy and slightly animal notes. This ranges from sloes and elderberries to smoked meat and roasted beetroot to undergrowth, autumn leaves and some tomato essence.
Palate
On the palate, the wine appears juicy with lots of fresh cherry and pomegranate juice, with plums and lightly roasted herbs. At the same time, this is a Blaufränkisch with a mineral fresh and cool side, a lively acidity and a remarkable inner tension. Here, too, you find the slightly earthy and tart with a fine tannin. This is intense, transparent, clear and fresh wine that quickly builds up drinkability.
