Ungerberg Blaufränkisch 2017

Ungerberg is the vineyard site in Gols that is closest to the Neusiedlersee. The soil is characterised by its ability to accumulate great volumes of water and its significant lime content. The wines are shaped by a mighty tannin structure and minerality.

Deep, dark ruby red. Fragrance of blackberries, sour cherries, easy to drink; a hint of spiciness. Savoury on the palate, fresh, dark berries accentuated by herbs; taut and juicy at once, potent, fine tannin with long-lasting finish.

The Leitner estate lies 50 km to the south of Vienna in Gols, a village well known for winegrowing, at the northeastern shore of the Neusiedlersee, and is being conducted as a family enterprise. With an operatively used area of 10.5 ha it is possible to ideally respond to each and every little detail at the vineyard as well as in the cellar. Our top priority is quality, optimally selected grapes, which later enter the bottle void of yeast, enzymes or any other supplementary ingredient. Ideally, wines are made from just one single grape variety and one type of soil. During this process, oftentimes only a single segment of a particular growing area is used, i.e. only the type of soil that informs the wine.
