WINE DESCRIPTION

This Markus Altenburger Ried Satz is made from Blaufränkisch grapes sourced from the various plots around the village of Jois, mainly from the younger vines. This wine is designed to express the joyful, approachable side of Blaufränkisch. The grapes are harvested, crushed and fermented in inert vessels at cooler temperatures with a focus on lighter extraction to create softer, fruit-forward wines that are highly varietally-expressive. The wine is matured for a short period in inert vessel prior to release to harmonise the flavors.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Markus Altenburger Blaufränkisch Ried Satz is a lively, fruit-forward red with a nose that offers bright aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and dried herbs, along with a hint of smoky minerality.On the palate, the wine has a medium body, with a core acidity that provides freshness and balance. The tannins are not overly assertive but help support the ripe, bountiful fruit flavors of blackberries, damson and spice. Whilst the finish is not overly long, it is pleasant and expressive with an invigorating burst of acidity.
