Blaufränkisch

Black fruit, ink and graphite sit in a firm profile with fine-grained tannins. The dry red also shows spice, soft texture, velvety tannins and lively acidity. Blaufränkisch undergoes three weeks of maceration and ages for ten months in used barrels. It is neither fined nor filtered, receives little sulphur at bottling and carries 12.5 percent alcohol.

Blueberry, blackcurrant, leather and tobacco meet juicy fruit, a lightly taut texture and a gently bitter edge. Violets and plums add floral and dark-fruit detail. Blaufränkisch spends about nine days on the skins with manual punch-downs, then ages on fine lees in large used barrels and stainless steel. The dry red is biodynamically farmed in Burgenland and carries 12 percent alcohol.

Cherry, cassis and spice appear with ripe tannins and a juicy character. The blend contains Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt. The grapes are destemmed and macerated for eighteen days, while fermentation starts spontaneously. The wine completes malolactic fermentation and spends twelve months in used barriques. Bottling is unfiltered. The vines grow on sand and clay with limestone, under organic and biodynamic farming.

Ruby-garnet colour with violet reflections accompanies hibiscus, red berries and fresh cherries. Candied violet and lemon are present, with fine tannin and a saline finish.

Cabernet Franc, Blaufränkisch, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir come from twenty-year-old vines planted on sand in Moravský Žižkov. The grapes are destemmed and undergo carbonic maceration, followed by maturation in old large oak. The wine is made without added sulphur and contains twelve and a half percent alcohol. It is a red wine from the Czech Republic.

Blaufränkisch and Sankt Laurent are blended in proportions of seventy and thirty percent. Around ten percent of the stems remain in the mash before natural fermentation in stainless-steel and fibreglass vats. Pressing takes place after about ten days. The wine then spends twenty-two months on gross lees in 225-litre barriques and is bottled unfiltered, without fining or additives. Alcohol is eleven percent, and no sulfur is added.

Blackberry, cherry and plum preserves accompany violet, lavender, dark chocolate, sweet pepper and roasted almond. The texture is velvety and delicate within a concentrated profile.

Wild berries, earth and peppery spice sit alongside blackberry and cassis, while a further spice note is also present. Roesler and Blaufrankisch each account for half of the blend. Vinification takes place in barrel, followed by eight months of oak ageing. Based in Burgenland, the small-production estate farms biodynamically and was founded early in the twenty-first century.
