Fermented in open vats and steel tank. A wonderful introduction to Roland's elegant take on Blaufrankisch with its signature characteristics of high-toned aromatic blue fruits, spice, and black tea. A wine that will drink now and age well for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eRoland Velich is no longer working with his brother Heinz at the family estate in Apetlon, but is pursuing his own dream, working with old vines in the heart of “Blaufrankisch country” – Mittelburgenland, specifically Lutzmannsburg and Neckenmarkt. His are wines in a style you will not encounter anywhere else in Austria: Blaufrankisch vinified as if it were Grand Cru Burgundy, and from hillsides (including terraces) and pre-clonal vines the like of which you will not find being cultivated in most of Mittelburgenland. One sip is an Oz experience (and I don’t mean Aussie, mates!). From his dreams to his vines, to his vinification, to his retro label, Velich is in a world of his own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50807796236544,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/patronsaintwine.com\/products\/moric-blaufrankisch-burgenland-austria-2023","provider":"Patron Saint","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
