Wenzel Michael Blaufränkisch aus dem Kalk unfiltriert 2021 0,75l

Michael Wenzel Blaufränkisch aus dem Kalk unfiltered comes from limestone‑rich vineyards around Rust on Lake Neusiedl. The vines grow in traditional single‑stake training in the Bandkräftn site, known for deep soils and the cooling breeze from the lake. On the nose the wine shows dark red berries, sour cherry and herbal spice, with hints of earth, graphite and dried flowers. On the palate this Blaufränkisch is taut, juicy and precise, with vibrant acidity, firm yet fine‑grained tannins and pulsating fruit. The unfiltered bottling lets texture and subtle lees tones come through and underlines the pure, natural style. A characterful, low‑intervention red that pairs beautifully with braised dishes, game birds, lamb or hearty vegetable cuisine.

Wenzel Michael

On the shores of Lake Neusiedl in Rust, Burgenland, Wenzel Michael champions a grape many had written off: Furmint. From a town once famed for Ruster Ausbruch, the family has grown vines for generations, and in the 1980s—under the Iron Curtain’s shadow—they brought historic Furmint material back to Austria to reframe local identity....

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.
