Made in an early-drinking style from ‘younger’ vines (10-50 years old) grown on limestone, primary rock, and loam from Neckenmarkt and Lutzmannsburg. Fermented in open vats and steel tank. A wonderful introduction to Roland’s elegant take on Blaufrankisch. Since 2001 Roland Velich has been crafting world-class wine from Blaufrankisch. He is determined to show that this indigenous Austrian grape has as much finesse and elegance as Pinot Noir from Burgundy.
