Lutzmannsburg, Alte Reben 2021 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Lutzmannsburg Alte Reben 2021 1500ml Magnum by Moric

Colour & Appearance

Deep black-red with minimal violet reflections at the rim – a colour intensity that promises concentration and maturity.

Nose

An aromatic kaleidoscope that reveals itself anew with every swirl: cassis and dark berries form the foundation, layered above are roasted notes, cocoa and a fascinating peat note. Noble leather, fine tobacco and the characteristic Kampott pepper lend depth and complexity to the bouquet. For all its power, this wine rests remarkably within itself – a sign of great maturity.

Palate

A monument from old vines. The dense, juicy fruit meets a minerality of rare precision. The tannin structure is refined and silky, the acidity invigorating – everything comes together into an elegant yet powerful whole. This Blaufränkisch unites substance with finesse, concentration with drinkability. A wine that impresses already now, but is undoubtedly made for eternity.

Finish

Long, mineral and with an echo of dark berries and fine spice notes that lingers for minutes.

Terroir & Origin

From old vines in Lutzmannsburg on Lake Neusiedl, where Pannonian climate meets calcareous soils. Roland Velich of Moric counts among Austria’s most uncompromising winemakers – his Blaufränkisch wines are terroir statements of the highest precision.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Blaufränkisch from old vines, vinified with minimalist intervention. The magnum bottle guarantees optimal ageing conditions for the decades to come.

Food Pairing Recommendations

With Kobe beef with Madagascar pepper, smoked pork belly with prune dumplings or black salsify with truffle and Brussels sprouts. The minerality and structure demand powerful, but not overly rich dishes.

Special Features

Drinking it now would be sacrilege – this wine needs at least five years of cellar ageing to unfold its full potential. The magnum bottle is ideal for patient collectors. A Blaufränkisch that demonstrates Austria’s great red wines are world-class.
