Description

Product description for Nittnaus Anita & Hans Ried Jungenberg Jois, Leithaberg DAC 2016

Wine Information

The Joiser Jungenberg has been documented as a top Joiser vineyard for over 800 years. The vines face southeast toward the lake, which naturally allows the grapes to ripen earlier. The soil consists of mica schist, overlaid with shell limestone in the lower part. Only the best and oldest Blaufränkisch vines from this vineyard are used for this exceptional red wine.

Vine Information

Hand-harvested and selected, spontaneous fermentation in wood, 20 months of aging on the lees in 500-liter wooden barrels.

Colour

Muted black-red, almost solid to the rim with minimal purple highlights.

Nose

This 2016 Blaufränkisch Ried Jungenberg has a magnificent nose: It smells of sweet black cherries, pickled blueberries, cassis liqueur, liquid dark chocolate, tar, and licorice. All this is mingled with freshly ground black pepper, incense, and violet pastilles, compactly framed by the distinctive terroir of the slate and shell limestone on which it grew. Wild Mediterranean herbs, floral notes, and spices such as juniper, cinnamon, and clove are only hinted at at this stage due to its youthful compactness.

Palate

Dense and multi-layered on the tongue, it practically flows down the throat with impressive power and sweetness. One immediately notices its special complexity and elegance. A Blaufränkisch like a thunderbolt that will continue to develop fantastically over the years and has aging potential until at least 2040. At this stage, be sure to decant and serve slightly chilled!
