Weinhof Szemes Desiderius Cuvée 2015
From one of the makers of Arachon T.FX.T, Weinhof Szemes produces one of the top Blaufränkisch in Austria.
In 1984 Tibor took over the family business. Tibor Szemes, a charismatic personality with vision and contacts all over the world, recognized the excellent terroir and grape quality of Central Burgenland as early as the early 1980s. With Ing. Josef Pusch, the then cellar master of the Horitschon cooperative, Tibor Szemes initiated the step to become a négociant.
Tibor’s son, Oscar took the place of his parents, who both died far too young. Together with his sister Anna, he is now continuing the traditional business, while evolving it to focus on estate vineyards, as well as modernizing the wine portfolio that they represent
Grape Varietals & Region: Blend of 60% Blaufränkisch, 20% Zweigelt and 20% Carbernet Sauvignon. The fruit for this wine comes from vines growing in the mica slate soils of top vineyards in central Burgenland, including the top Hochberg location.
Taste Profile: Weinhof Szemes Desiderius Cuvée is a complex and very elegant wine with fantastic ageing potential. Dark berry fruit aromas follow through to the full-bodied and dry palate, where its berry compote flavour is joined by a distinctive mineral note.
Winemaking Process: Selective manual harvest for perfectly ripe fruit. Fermentation and then ageing for 14 months in partly new 500 litre barrels and then for 6 months in large oak barrels
