Sourced from 9 different parcels in Schützen that are dominated by limestone, mica schist, and portions of slate. Fermented in stainless steel before being racked into used stockinger barrels. “It shows a lovely Vino Nobile aroma, round, barky, rugged but not rustic, focused but analog; it has warmth but also shape and outline, and a really articulate pepperiness.”

"Tobacco and tar aromas rise up through the berry and dark-plum fruit. Rock salt and peppercorns follow on the palate, which is medium-bodied and juicy with bright acidity. Drink now or hold. Screw cap."

"Located in eastern Austria on the border of Hungary, Burgenland offers well-draining soils and ample sunshine. Translation: Wines that retain acidity while still offering concentrated fruit notes, like this well-balanced Blaufränkisch. It offers aromas of dark berries and saline with an earthy edge on the nose and a soft, juicy palate with bright acidity."
