The elegant Blaufränkisch from the pen of Leo Hillinger shines into the glass with bright purple.

If we trace the aromatics further, vanilla, cinnamon and sun-warmed rock come into play.

On the tongue, this well-balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense and silky texture. In the finish, this youthful from the wine region of Burgenland finally thrilled with considerable length. Again, hints of black cherry and morello cherry appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by black earth and loess soil join in.
