Winemaking Process: The Blaufränkisch Tradition is stored in used 500 liter barrels on the fine yeast for at least 14 months. This wine remains in the large barrel for a few months before it is filled. Blaufränkisch Tradition is a typical, fruity and at the same time elegant wine - an ideal and versatile accompaniment to food.
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
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,
