Taste:
This wine is an example of what the predominant grape variety in central Burgenland is capable of bringing forth: very old vines, rigorous selection, and aging in oak barrels (at least one year) produce an elegant, complex wine with a long finish.

Strong ruby; typical fine Blaufränkisch nose,
fruits such as cherry and plum, fine roasted flavours;

Very elegant on the palate, the extract leads to a
warm and friendly character, fruits are well recognisable,
well embedded fine tannins; elaborated aftertaste

Will be best if stored in the cellar for a few years and
enjoyed not before 2008 but then up to 2015.
