Weninger Blaufränkisch Hochäcker

Franz Weninger picked biodynamically grown Blaufränkisch grapes from his Hochäcker vineyard. It is ferruginous with heavy loam and gravel. He allowed the wine to ferment spontaneously and then mature for a year and a half in used large wooden barrels. Franz wants you to taste the unvarnished fruit of the grape, as it only tastes in this vineyard.

What we like: Intense and lively fruit of blackberries, blueberries and cherries. The soil gives the wine a 'bite'. He's feisty. The wood aging is very subtle; reminiscent of the spicy scent of a piece of birch bark. This is red wine in its purest form.
