Color
deep purple
Nose
The Blaufränkisch From the Altenberg vineyard in Jois, this wine is dark and earthy with notes of
Blackberries, morello cherries and sour cherries, some elderberries, cubeb pepper and dark chocolate. In addition, there is a fine sweet yeast note as well as some cool rock.
Mouth
On the palate the Altenberg Juicy and fresh, at the same time earthy and dark-fruited with a remarkable energy and density. A deep, distinctive cherry aroma combines with notes of oak, herbs, violets and undergrowth. The acidity penetrates the fruit with great vitality and carries the Blaufränkisch into the long finish. There, the tightly woven tannin becomes just as apparent as the fine chalkiness of this Burgenländer.
