Grosshoflein Esterhazy 2021 | Blaufrankisch | 12.5%

Handpicked from the Grosshoflein single vineyard composed of rich black clay topsoils with fossilised limestone beneath. This Blaufrankisch spontaneously ferments in large 5500L open top wooden fermenters. This is followed by 12 months of maturation in 500l second use barrels and a further year in bottle. This is an elegant wine with a delicate floral aroma of violets followed by sour cherries, blackberries, and perfumed spices. The palate is smooth and complex with velvety, supple tannins and the animating acidity and minerality lends to a long fresh finish.
