2023 Felsen I

Austria - Burgenland - Leithagebirge
Blaufränkisch
Red wine

Single vineyard, single barrel.
The rock 2023 - Incredible grapes from my 65 year old Blaufränkisch vineyard:
A glance at the shimmering ironoxyde-schist all over the soil awakens the inner magpie-eye and stimulates the tastebuds for a smoky grilled piece of meat or beet.
Hidden in the depth of the soil a little chalk, giving the extra grip.
The perfect exposition facing the lake and the steepness of 10% empowers a higher absorption of sunlight. This is leading to more intense flavours and aromatic ripeness. The forest in the back of vineyards is making sure the air condition is on during the night, pushing cool air down the hill to keep this unique microclimate in great balance.
Berries all over and a superelegant but long and giving finish: a very vertical wine.
