Produced from 8-45 year old vines from Neckenmarkt, Lutzmannsburg and Zagersdorf the Moric Blaufränkisch displays a beautiful dark red color. It gives off pretty aromas of red fruits, spices and earth along with some dusty metallic notes. Silky with mouthwatering acidity and a ripping iron driven core which is followed by a long drying finish. Harvested at a yield of 39 hectolitres per hectare, 16 days fermentation on the skins in stainless steel and open vats. Élevage in 600-4500 litre casks for 12 months. Indigenous yeast. Malolactic fermentation in the cask, no fining and no filtration. (Best from 2012-2025) - October, 2012 (MD)
