Varietal

Blaufrankisch

Blaufränkisch is a red grape variety primarily grown in Central Europe, particularly in Austria and Hungary, where it thrives in cool climate conditions. It produces wines that are deep in color with medium to full body, characterized by flavors of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, along with notes of spice, pepper, and sometimes a hint of tobacco. Blaufränkisch wines are known for their firm tannins, good acidity, and aging potential, which allow them to develop complexity over time. What makes Blaufränkisch unique is its ability to reflect its terroir, with Austrian versions often showing more minerality and elegance compared to the richer, fruit-forward styles from Hungary. It pairs well with hearty dishes like roasted meats and game, showcasing its versatility and ability to complement robust flavors.

Country

Austria

Archaeological evidence suggests that grapevines have been grown and cultivated in what is today modern Austria for over four thousand years, making it one of the oldest wine producing countries in the world. Over the centuries, relatively little has changed in Austrian wine, with the dominant grape varietals continuing to be Grüner Veltliner, Zweigelt, Pinot Noir and others. Austria is renowned for producing excellent and characterful dry white wines, although in the eastern part of the country, many wineries specialist in sweeter white wines made in a similar style to those of neighboring Hungary. Today, Austria has over fifty thousand hectares under vine, split over four key wine regions. The domestic wine industry remains strong, with Austrians drinking their local produce outside in the summer, and people around the world are beginning to once more rediscover this fascinating and ancient wine culture.

Region

Burgenland

Austria is a fascinating and ancient wine producing country, which once was heralded by the royal families and aristocracy of Europe as one of the finest and most important centers of viticulture in the world. Indeed, the wines of this central European country are home to many of the most surprising and seductive wines available today, and the eastern region of Burgenland is perhaps one of the finest regions Austria has. Whilst most of Austria is renowned for its off-dry and flavorful white wines, Burgenland is home to the country's red wine producers, with vineyards there being full of Pinot Noir, Zwiegelt and Blaufrankisch grapes, resulting in a wide palate of delicious and juicy reds. This is perhaps due to the relatively large amounts of sunshine and heat the region enjoys each year, and the proximity to one of the country's largest lakes, which helps red grapes reach their full potential.

The 2021 Blaufränkisch Ried Kirchberg is from four parcels in this single west-facing site on limestone. The youngest parcel was planted in the 1980s, and the oldest was planted in 1921. Smoky peony petals, cold ash, blood and crushed wild blueberry on the nose have almost an ethereal quality. It has a firm, contoured, medium body that crunches with fine tannins of starched silk, offering density without weight and drawing the senses to an intrinsic core of bright, luminous freshness. Depth, brightness and aromatic layers unite and shine. The 2021 is serene, understated and immensely elegant. (Bone-dry)
