Claus Preisinger Basic Red 2012
Savoury cured meats and smoked stone lurk beneath the surface of this zweigelt/blaufrankisch blend from from first whiff to fading memory, underpinning the bright, tart rhubarb and red currant fruit. Salted black plum, black cherry, dark florals and a potent, unwavering vein of minerality continue on the fresh, textured palate, reined in with finely grained, black-tea toned tannins. Characterful, intriguing, alive wine. Claus Preisinger is one of Austria's hottest winemakers, youthful, driven and innovative. This biodynamically-farmed red’s appeal starts with the label, striking in its stylized simplicity.Tasted: 07 October 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $20.50 | 750ml | private wine shops |
