Description

Arachon T.FX.T 2018

Arachon T.FX.T is a joint venture of friends and three wineries: Szemes, FX. Pichler and Tement.

Grape Varietals & Region: 80% Blaufränkisch, 10% Zweigelt, 5% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The highest quality grapes from vineyards up to 65 years old. The fruit comes from in-house vineyards across the winegrowing region in Burgenland. Arachon comes from the Old Slavic-Alto-Slovenian language and was the name of the village of Horitschon in the Middle Ages, this wine's home. The vines grow in slate, loam, loess soil.

Taste Profile: Deep ruby red colour with a violet hue. The bouquet exudes aromas of blackberries, sweet cherries and nuances of coffee and spices. The full-bodied palate has structured tannins, a pleasant berry juiciness and mineral terroir following through to a red currant finish with a touch of dark chocolate.

Winemaking Process: Hand harvesting of the grapes. Natural and spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for 18 months in (partly new) 500 L barrels.

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes

Malolactic Fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
