Description

A'kira T.FX.T 2019

A'Kira T.FX.T is the little brother of the Arachon, where the name comes from the Burgenland dialect and means something like "joyful outcry".

Grape Varietal & Region: A'kira T.FX.T is made from 100% autochthonous Blaufränkisch grapes. The grapes are sourced from selected vineyards in the Burgenland region, and reflects the elegance of the Blaufränkisch grape and the terroir of poor slate soils.

Taste Profile: Pure Blaufränkisch with a fruity nose of plums and cherries, very harmonious and encouraging to drink. Versatile food companion.

Winemaking Process: 18 months in 500 liter barrels and large wooden barrels

Tibor Szemes, FX Pichler and Manfred Tement joined forces in the mid-1990s. Connected by a deep friendship, they had the vision of a great Austrian red wine, into which all their experience should flow. Their passion for red wine and the model of great French red wines have inspired the T.FX.T trio to this joint project.

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,
