Blaufränkisch Leithaberg

100% Blaufränkisch. Expressing a vibrant spectrum of cherry hues, this Blaufränkisch wine defies simple fruitiness. It tantalizingly unwraps layers of earthiness like peaty autumn leaves, truffle hints, peppery spice, and roasted root vegetables. With patience and air, its complexity emerges, perfect for pairing with roasted leg of lamb. Originating from Leithaberg's old vineyards facing Lake Neusiedl.The soils comprise the fossil-rich limestone, calcareous sandstone, and mica schist that are so typical for the region.. Bottled through biodynamic practices, handpicked grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation, three weeks of skin maceration, and 38 months of maturation in amphorae and used oak barrels. Its assertive tannins and vitality promise a long, contented life. ABV 13%
