Gesellmann hochberc Blaufränkisch 2021 0,75l

hochberc Blaufränkisch from Gesellmann is one of the flagship wines of the Mittelburgenland. Biodynamically farmed vines on the limestone slopes of the Hochberg yield small, concentrated berries. The nose opens with blackberry, ripe cherry and a hint of cassis, joined by cocoa, tobacco and fine herbal spice. On the palate the wine is dense, textured and multi-layered, with tightly knit, ripe tannins and precise acidity. Extended ageing in oak adds further depth without sacrificing freshness. A benchmark Blaufränkisch with excellent ageing potential, best served with game, beef or rich braised dishes.

Pannonian warmth, loam and clay give the backdrop for reds with natural grip. During the 1980s, Engelbert Gesellmann helped redefine Burgenland by planting international varieties and embracing French barriques, setting a benchmark that still echoes in the cellar....

The grape variety: Blaufränkisch

Blaufränkisch is a Central European red grape known for dark cherry, pepper, fresh acidity and structured tannins. It is especially important in Austria and Hungary.

The grape is exciting because it combines elegance with savoury spice. Pair Blaufränkisch with duck, pork, lamb, goulash, mushrooms, sausages and hard cheeses.
