2017 was the sort of year that winemakers dream of. During the hot, dry summer weeks, the grapes developed incredible ripeness with a lot of density and a compact body. Alongside 2015, 2017 is certainly the best year of the decade.

Loamy soils provide our Blaufränkisch vines with the necessary nutrient and water supply, even in the dry 2017, and give this wine it's striking power. The vines are located around Deutschkreutz in Central Burgenland.

After a long, intensive contact with the mash, the grapes were pressed. The wine was then stored in large oak barrels until it was filled in July 2020. Thanks to its concentration, this Blaufränkisch has very long development potential and should reach its most beautiful expression after about three to seven years of bottle aging.

Strong crimson garnet, ocher reflections, subtle lightening of the edges. Wild berries with a hint of tobacco, some hibiscus, orange zest, subtle precious wood spice, tangerine zest. Medium-bodied, red berries, fresh cherries, fine tannins, balanced and lively, sweet fruit, fine salty touch on the finish, already easy to drink. - Peter Moser, Falstaff
