Step into the world of Austrian elegance with Moric Blaufrankisch Burgenland 2021, a remarkable wine crafted by the acclaimed winemaker, Roland Velich. Known for his dedication to showcasing the finesse and elegance of the indigenous Austrian grape, Blaufrankisch, Velich has consistently proven its potential to rival the renowned Pinot Noir from Burgundy.
This particular wine is made from 'younger' vines, aged between 10-50 years, grown on a diverse terroir of limestone, primary rock, and loam from Neckenmarkt and Lutzmannsburg. Fermented in open vats and steel tanks, it offers an early-drinking style that serves as a wonderful introduction to Velich's refined interpretation of Blaufrankisch.
Moric Blaufrankisch Burgenland 2021 is a testament to Velich's mastery, displaying a lovely ruby hue and high-toned aromatic blue fruits, spice, and black tea. This wine is not only beautiful to taste now but also holds the potential to age gracefully. Experience the allure of this gorgeous, refined wine, and let it be your gateway to the potential of Blaufrankisch and the artistry of Roland Velich.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
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.
