Description

Product description for Nittnaus Anita & Hans Ried Altenberg Jois, Leithaberg DAC 2021 (bio)

The grapes for this Blaufränkisch come from vines in the Joiser Ried Altenberg, which are on average 30 years old. The vines grow on calcareous soils on the slopes of the Leitha Mountains and are carefully harvested by hand.

Colour

Crimson red with violet reflections and a black core.

Nose

The 2021 Altenberg Jois Leithaberg from Nittnaus oscillates on the nose between cool elegance and spicy-smoky notes. The fruit shows its fresh side: sour cherries, elderberry, and cranberry, more greengages than plums, as well as currants. The contrasting notes are spicy aromas reminiscent of black pepper, allspice, and juniper. A dark tobacco leaf and slightly smoky notes in the top note are counteracted by the impression of wet asphalt after a warm summer rain.

Palate

The first sip of the Altenberg is characterized by its fine-grained, slightly rough tannin structure. Tightly woven with a fine-grained nature, it is fueled by the fresh acidity that tightly envelops the fruity extract. A thoroughly structural experience, aromatically fresh with an invigoratingly tart character and a cool aftertaste in the fruity-spicy finish.
