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."

"The 2021 Blaufränkisch Oggau Johanneshöhe is made from younger vines across Oggau and matured for 30 months in large, used barrels. The nose is all blood, iron oxide and freshness. This is vividly juicy, energetic and alive with vivid dark, peppery berry fruit. It has so much bounce, lightness, drive and joy with its wonderfully light-bodied but concentrated character. It's a wonderful combo."
