CRITIC RATINGS
"Juicy, multifaceted, well-integrated acidity structure.. a versatile style with good ageing potential." (Peter Moser, Weinguide Österreich 2022/23)91 Falstaff
The nose reveals concentrated blackberry confit and a fine spice of tobacco and balsamic vinegar. On the palate, the wine shows ripe, dark cherries, subtle oak notes, and well-integrated, ripe tannins. The finish adds a refreshing salty minerality. It’s drinking beautifully now, but can age for another decade or so.
Pairs well with steaks, goose, veal-schnitzel or dishes flavoured with chili.
