The Burgenland region in northeastern Austria enjoys a continental climate ideal for Blaufränkisch, the emblematic grape variety. Roland Velich is one of the finest ambassadors for this exceptional terroir with his Moric estate. In 2006, Roland Velich revolutionized Blaufränkisch with his pure, precise and concentrated style, rare for a grape once known for rusticity.

Their vineyards lie on the warm limestone hills of the Leithaberg. The 2019 vintage was near-perfect, allowing slow ripening of the grapes under optimal conditions.

The Reserve cuvée is the quintessential expression of Moric, made from the best 35 to 50-year-old vines. Aged 18 months in oak casks, it sublimely showcases Blaufränkisch's power with finesse.

Tasting notes:

  • Color: Deep purple with violet hues
  • Aroma: Intense aromas of blackberry, cassis and sweet spices with elegant smoky, toasty and balsamic notes
  • Palate: Full-bodied and structured, firm yet velvety tannins, superb balance between power and precision, incredibly long and savory finish

Pairings: Grilled/braised red meats, game, spicy dishes.

The 2017 Blaufränkisch Burgenland Moric Reserve is deep, concentrated and very intense on the nevertheless pure, fresh and floral nose that is populated with dark, tart fruit aromas along with floral and peppery notes. Silky textured, finessed and almost light on its feet in the first moment, this is a pure, salty and very fresh and tensioned Blaufränkisch with the texture of a tart Pinot Noir with fine-grained tannins and the saline purity of the terroirs in Lutzmannsburg and St Georgen. Add Zagersdorf and you get a complete, ambitious and terroir-driven blend of Austria's greatest red wine variety. This 2017 is so pure and tensioned (due to a percentage of whole clusters) that I recommend cellaring it for at least 3-5 years. The finish is almost Chablis-like. Bottled in September 2019 and tasted in June 2020.
