Stiegelmar Heideboden 2022 0,75l

Stiegelmar Heideboden is a dense yet refined red blend of Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch from the sun-drenched plains east of Lake Neusiedl. Vines rooted in warm gravel and black earth deliver grapes with plenty of ripeness and depth. In the glass it shows a dark ruby colour with a bright rim. The bouquet is packed with blackberry and blueberry, joined by hints of Amarena cherry, liquorice and a touch of mocha. On the palate the wine is juicy and meaty yet polished, supported by ripe, fine-grained tannins and subtle barrique spice. Its powerful structure remains beautifully balanced and leads into a long, fruit-driven finish. A characterful partner for grilled meats, braised beef, hearty pasta dishes or mature hard cheeses.

Eighteen months in barrique round out the dark fruit and give the wine depth, elegance and complex spice.
