Blaufränkisch vom Kalk - Markus Altenburger

The Blaufränkisch vom Kalk from the hand of Markus Altenburger from Burgenland offers a brilliant, purple-red color in the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this Old World red wine reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of blackberry, strawberry, and raspberry, rounded off by further fruity nuances contributed by maturation in wooden casks.

On the palate, Markus Altenburger’s Blaufränkisch vom Kalk opens wonderfully aromatic, fruit-driven, and balanced. On the palate, the texture of this light-footed red wine presents itself as delightfully silky. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Burgenland wine-growing region ultimately delights with a remarkable aftertaste.
