Wachter Wiesler Deutsch Schützen Blaufrankisch 2021
Eisenberg, Burgenland, Weinland Österreich, AustriaThis organic Blaufränkisch is a village-level (Ortswein) red from Burgenland's Eisenberg DAC, sourced from vineyards on the Deutsch Schützener Berg and its iron-rich loam, clay, and gravel over green schist. After a native ferment in wooden vats and casks, this aged 30 months in large older oak, going to bottle without fining or filtration. Wild blackberry, thorns, jammy cassis is cut with a tart acidity, wrapped with downy, furry tannins, and lit with VA. The finish is seasoned liberally with cracked black pepper. The VA was too elevated for me, though the naturalness of this may appeal to some.Tasted: 19 October 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $34.99 | 750ml | private wine stores |
