Intensive purple of a somewhat darker kind, subtle violet rim, eyebrow-lifting viscosity. Distinctive fragrance which leaves no doubt about the supremacy of this Blaufränkisch proponent. Wild cherry extravaganza, black tea, zests and cinnamon bark, additionally red peach and roasted nuts, well envelopped into fine wood. Dry, densely layered, displaying persistent spicy fruitiness, cool, smoky with cloves and curry. Intensively mineral type and pulpy, enormous long finish. Mirrors the assets of the winery´s oldest Blaufränkisch vineyards in a perfect way.

Perfect for lonely champions.
