Blaufränkisch Ried Föllikberg Leithaberg DAC 2022

The Großhöfleiner Ried Föllikberg is an alluvial fan formed by the erosion of the Leithaberg. The western exposure of the vineyard creates a significantly cooler microclimate than in our Kleinhöfleiner Blaufränkisch vineyards. On the heavy, calcareous soil with a high clay content, the Blaufränkisch reaches full maturity somewhat later. This exciting terroir lends it darker fruit and spice. While it exhibits a somewhat more pronounced acidity and tannin structure in its youth, it is precisely this characteristic that grants it the potential to age for many years.

Delicate notes of red berries, cherry, and sour cherry, hints of dark fruit, peppery spice, plenty of fruity charm, a juicy mid-palate, a rounded texture, lively, harmonious, promising, and very inviting to drink.

Pairs perfectly with well-done roast beef, steaks, braised meats, and game dishes.
