Moric Blaufrankisch 2022

Roland Velich's 2021 Blaufränkisch Burgenland shows a fresh ruby-purple color and reveals a clear, fresh and precise nose of tart sour cherries, cassis, crushed limestone and some floral and lovely spicy notes. It's also beautifully pure on the palate, which is almost weightless but silky, fresh and elegant, with tart but fine tannins and sour fruit on the finish. The wine is still young and will gain in complexity with bottle age; but it is already very promising, and fans of this style will love the 2021 at this stage. Purest Burgenland Blaufränkisch! 13% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in April 2023.
