Region: Austria - Carnuntum
Grapes: Blaufrankisch
Alcohol: 13%
Notes on the Wine
This easy-drinking Blaufränkisch would do well with a slight chill. The nose offers aromas of fresh pepper, wild flowers, and brambly berries. The palate is medium-bodied with concentrated fruit notes, grippy tannins, and a good dose of acidity.
Notes on the Producer
Walter Glatzer with his daughter Hanna and son Matias organically farm over 50 hectares in the ancient region of Carnuntum, the largest border community of the Roman Empire where Celtics, Romans, and later monastic settlements tended vines for over 2000 years. Carnuntum has a unique combination of exposure, soil, and microclimate that provides perfect conditions for viticulture. Vines in Carnuntum benefit from the contrast created by the warm Pannonian plain to the northeast, the cooling currents of the Danube, and wind protection from the Maria Ellend forest, to the north. This climate creates wide diurnal temperature swings, giving the wines a freshness and brightness that makes them a pleasure to drink.
