Weinhof Szemes has been a family business since the early 1900s, evolving from wine merchant to négociant to estate winemaker; siblings Anna and Oscar Szemes now run the domaine with a focus on freshness and site transparency over heavy extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dark ruby red with violet reflections; sour cherry, red berries and delicate spice on the nose, with the precision and expressiveness typical of top Eisenberg Blaufränkisch. Dry and structured without heaviness — 13.5% ABV keeps it food-friendly rather than jammy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand-selected grapes, harvested in early October, gently fermented in wooden barrels and aged in large old barrels — some up to 70 years old, built by the Szemes family's grandfather. New wood is used only sparingly, in small 500-litre barrels, keeping oak influence firmly in the background. 14 days skin contact, fermented in wooden vats, aged 1.5 years in large oak casks, followed by 1 year in stainless steel tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Anna and Oscar Szemes represent the latest generation of a family that's worked in wine — as merchants, négociants, and now growers — since the turn of the 20th century. Their winemaking is deliberately traditional and simple: minimal new oak, big old barrels, and a constant focus on letting Eisenberg's green schist speak through the Blaufränkisch rather than covering it up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weinhof Szemes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43182906474594,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/Szemes-Reihburg.png?v=1786493640","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/weinhof-szemes-reihburg-eisenberg-dac","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
