Blaufränkisch Eisenberg Ried Weinberg

Austria
Südburgenland
2020

Out of a total of the 30 hectares in this vineyard, Wachter-Wiesler farms five, at an elevation ranging from 250-300m above sea-level. With iron-rich clay, the soil characteristics here are quite similar to the the base of the Eisenberg hill. The single-vineyard Weinberg comes from the heart of the vineyard and is a selection of the oldest vines, which average fifty years-old. Wachter made a single 2,300 liter barrel of this wine laden with raspberry fruit and minerals.

"Beautifully built red, with a streak of graphite going through ripe blackberry, plum and black currant flavors, with lively acidity linking it all together, it is silky and medium-bodied, with tannins that give just enough support, never getting in the way. The finish shows juniper and dark olive accents, which give this added charm. The wine displays range and energy already, but it would be better cellared a few more years."
