Kollwentz Blaufränkisch Setz 2018 0,75l

Blaufränkisch Setz from Weingut Kollwentz comes from the south-east facing Ried Setz on the Leithagebirge, with limestone-rich, schist-influenced loam and naturally low yields. The nose is dominated by dark cherries, blackberries and a hint of violets, rounded out by herbal notes and fine pepper spice. On the palate this wine is dense, juicy and precise, supported by a fresh, linear structure. The tannins are firm yet ripe and finely woven. Cool, stony minerality adds extra tension and elegance to the Blaufränkisch. A long, spicy finish makes it an excellent match for game, braised beef or hearty regional dishes from around Lake Neusiedl.

Barrique ageing gives Blaufränkisch Setz density and spice without masking its mineral origin.
