Every now and then, there are barrels, that are so outstanding that you cannot blend them into something else. So just happened with these 2 barrels of Blaufrankisch. One barrel from Neuberg limestone soil and one barrel from schist soil, were so exceptional, that they wanted this wine to shine on its own!

A pure example of the grape as Alex and Maria put it - "a wine that is balanced, but vibrant, feels like a tender touch with a heartwarming embrace in absolute silence. "

The grapes got partially de-stemmed (approx. 10% stems in the mash) and fermented naturally in stainless steel and fibreglass vats. After 10 days the mash was pressed and the wine was transferred into 2 barrels (225l Barriques) in the cellar. The wines matured on gross lees for 30 months without any additives, without fining and filtration. Bottled on April 26th 2022 unfiltered, unfined without the addition of sulfur.
