Weingut Straka Blaufränkisch Rechnitz 2021 Eisenberg DAC Reserve Bio, 0,75 L

A Blaufränkisch that brings pure excitement to the glass. Sourced from old vines and grown on 80% slate, this wine undergoes 12 days of skin contact followed by two years of aging in large wood—resulting in a wine with remarkable depth, structure, and striking minerality.

The nose is dark, stony, and smoky, with herbaceous notes that reflect its terroir. Ripe sour cherry, redcurrant, and a subtle umami quality add layers of complexity while a hint of coconut is delicately integrated, perhaps even with a faint nutty undertone. The aromas are ethereal, almost floating, yet deep and multifaceted.

On the palate, it’s bursting with flavor: taut and juicy, with vibrant acidity and finely structured, ripe tannins. The dark fruit flavors linger, balanced by a refreshing citrusy note on the finish—a touch of cranberry that tingles the senses and urges you to take another sip.

A Blaufränkisch with elegance and character—powerful yet graceful. It’s a wine that doesn’t need to shout to make a lasting impression.
