Blaufränkisch vom Lehm - Weingut Gesellmann

The barrel-aged Blaufränkisch vom Lehm from the wine-growing region of Burgenland appears in the glass in bright purple. Swiveling the wine glass, one can perceive a first-class balance in this red wine, as it does not stand out on the glass walls in a watery, syrupy or liqueur-like manner. This single varietal Austrian wine shows wonderfully expressive notes of violets, blueberries, lavender and morello cherries in the glass. These are joined by hints of black tea, oriental spices and cocoa bean.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would naturally expect from a winePremium and site wine segment, this Austrian naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Taste does not necessarily need a lot of residual sugar. Balanced and complex, this fleshy and dense red wine presents itself on the palate. The final of this red wine from the wine-growing region of Burgenland finally captivates with beautiful reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the soils dominated by clay and limestone.
