Birgit Braunstein Blaufrankisch 2021

AUSTRIA'S SIGNATURE RED GRAPE, MADE BY THE COUNTRY'S QUEEN OF BIODYNAMICS - A WONDERFUL ALTERNATIVE TO PINOT

 

"Pepper, chalk and cinnamon give their spin to the blueberry fruit on the nose. The palate is wonderfully juicy, dense and bright at the same time. The tannins feel as soft as brushing a cat's paw. The super-fresh palate makes this immensely mouth-watering and appetizing with its lovely, translucent body. The 2021 Blaufränkisch Heide was harvested in the Thenau site, on Leitha limestone, from 30-year-old vines." - Vinous

 

"Crisp, peppery and full of fresh berry flavour. The Blaufränkisch Heide has a fresh and fruity flavour reminiscent of blackberry and pepper. It is powerful and concentrated, but remains supple on the palate. Optimal drinking temperature is 16-18 °C (60-64 °F). Ideal accompaniment to duck breast roasted under a walnut crust with sautéed schupfnudeln (small potato dumplings). It is also a superb choice with spicy hard cheeses like Gryerzer with freshly baked pumpkin seed bread." - Birgit Braunstein
