Overview of the wine
About 70% of the Blaufränkisch grapes come from Lutzmannsburg, and the rest are distributed among the wine-growing areas of Zagersdorf, Sankt Georgen and Grosshöflein in northern Burgenland. The grapes are largely cultivated on calcareous sediments that vary from sandy to extremely clayey, including shell limestone and chalk soils, relics of the Pannonian Sea. Part of the Blaufränkisch, about 15%, was fermented with the stems. Fermentation, which proceeded naturally, lasted between 18 and 22 days and was carried out in both stainless steel and open vats. The wine matured for 15 months in barrels with capacities ranging from 500 to 4500 litres and was bottled in January 2022 without filtration, fining and minimal use of sulphites.

Colour scheme
This wine shines in intense purple-violet tones.

Scent
The Blaufränkisch 2020 combines freshness, precision, elegance and a remarkable juiciness that unfolds especially in the large glass. Nevertheless, it is Moric's so-called estate wine, which stands out for its striking complexity and class. The bouquet combines violet blossoms, sour cherries and black cherries with crisp plums, pomegranate juice, some elderberries and a hint of crushed cool rock, white pepper and a few black olives.

Taste
The sensational taste of this wine unfolds fully on the palate and justifies the high expectations raised by the bouquet. The Blaufränkisch is both an outstanding representative of Roland Velich's winemaking skills and an expression of the qualities that can emerge in the Reserve or later in the Lutzmannsburg or Neckenmarkt. The wine glides transparently and clearly over the tongue, almost like a white wine, supported by a fresh acidity that gives the Blaufränkisch its unmistakable character. At the same time, the tannin, which is expected in such a young and wild wine, lends structure and shows edge. Some time in the glass mellows the tannin, but it adds to the overall pleasant experience. Blaufränkisch is a wine to enjoy, whether in a convivial gathering or carefully exploring its many facets. Its price-performance ratio is amazing.
