Description

Product description for Heinrich Blaufränkisch Alter Berg Leithaberg DAC 2019 (bio)

Info from the Winemaker

Southeast-facing hillside location in Winden on the Letha Mountains. Above this magnificent vineyard stands the cooling forest, below one can see Lake Neusiedl. Enormous cherry trees grow in the rows, and everywhere—in the soil characterized by barren limestone—one finds the millions of years old fossils from the Urmer region, which lend this wine its magnificent minerality.

Vinification

Careful biodynamic cultivation, hand-picked in mid- to late September, spontaneous fermentation, three weeks in amphorae and on the skins, gently pressed with a basket press, and aged for 42 months in amphorae and in used 500l oak barrels.

Color

Deep violet red, black at the core.

Nose

What a scent: black cherries, blackberries, blueberries, sloe, and josta berries lined up one after the other. With oxygen, distinct notes of leather, tobacco, wood smoke, and licorice emerge from the glass. All underpinned by wild herbs and a profound and captivating minerality that is second to none.

Palate

On the palate, the 2019 Ried Windener Alter Berg Blaufränkisch literally grabs you with an invigorating yet polished tannin and acid structure. Here, too, the magnificent minerality comes to the fore, and the fruity cherry and berry aromas captivate the senses. Excellent aging potential, a fantastic accompaniment to intense braised and grilled dishes!
