Walter Glatzer Organic Gotinsprun DAC 2022

Nearly 70% of the elegant yet powerful red wine cuvee Gotinsprun (named after the old name for the wine-making village of Göttlessbrunn) was matured in new French barriques and allowed to mature for a further 2 years in the bottle after 18 months in the barrel. Now the flagship of the Glatzer winery is ready to drink. The cuvee consists of at least 50% Blaufränkisch, 30% Merlot and, depending on the year, some Zweigelt and Syrah. The wine can be stored for at least another 10 years.

The nose is characterised by a fine aroma of cherries, spice paired with vanilla and a hint of nougat. Broad, juicy and pleasant blackberry compote on the palate, the well-integrated, elegant tannins show the strength and potential of this powerful wine. The finish is warm, long and invites a second sip. Overall very balanced, harmonious and a real Göttlesbrunn vintage for a very reasonable amount of money.

Pairs well with rare lamb and beef, but is also a safe bet as the glorious end to an enjoyable evening with good friends.
