Description

Hofkellerei des Fursten von Liechtenstein Leithaberg DAC Blaufrankisch 2020

Hofkellerei des Fursten von Liechtenstein Leithaberg has a lot of structure, elegance and that certain something extra.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Blaufränkisch. The fruit comes from what is probably the best Burgundy site in St. Margarethen. The soil has high shell limestone and quartz content. The nearby Lake Neusiedl reflects sunlight into the gentle slopes and ensures that this premium Blaufränkisch is ripe at the right time.

Taste Profile: Brilliant ruby-red, ripe blueberries and wild cherries in the bouquet, a bit of wild raspberries, lingonberry, nougat, cinnamon and tobacco; on the palet spicy, with light smokiness and red fruit. Vibrant, fresh structure, rich minerality and liveliness on the great, long finish.

Winemaking Process: Selective hand-picking from organically managed vineyards. Partly spontaneous, very gentle fermentation in 500L barrels. Careful ageing in the 500-year-old cellars of the Hofkellerei.

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
