Suckling over Blaufränkisch Ried Reihburg 2017
Deep and refined nose, spanning the range from violets to wet earth. This is now at the beginning of what will surely be a long phase of ideal maturity and the fine tannins are now beautifully integrated with the fruit and just a whisker of oak. Serious concentration at the very long, mineral finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Blaufränkisch Ried Reihburg 2017

This Blaufränkisch from Uwe Schiefer's Reihburg vineyard is an impressive representation of the powerful and characterful wines for which this winemaker is known. The wine comes from a special vineyard site, the Reihburg vineyard, which indicates a unique terroir that lends the wine a special complexity.
The wine presents itself in a deep, dark ruby red, which already indicates its concentration and density.
The nose is characterized by an intense array of aromas. Notes of dark berries such as black cherries and blackberries blend with spicy nuances of black pepper, herbs, and a subtle mineral undertone.
On the palate, the Blaufränkisch Ried Reihburg unfolds with a powerful structure. Juicy fruit aromas continue, accompanied by elegant spicy notes. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, and the lively acidity lends the wine freshness and longevity. The finish is long and persistent, displaying a remarkable balance between fruit, spice, and the characteristic mineral note.
