2020 Anita & Hans Nittnaus "Kalk & Schiefer" Blaufrankisch, Burgenland, AustriaABOUT THIS WINE Sourced from select vineyards in Burgenland, this Blaufrnkisch is a pure expression of its origins, with the "Kalk & Schiefer" (limestone and slate) soils lending complexity and finesse. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in used oak barrels, the wine highlights a balance between fruit purity and savory depth. Medium bodied with a crisp, energetic profile, it pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or aged cheeses.

After meticulous sorting in the vineyards the grapes are de-stemmed and lightly pressed

The wines ferment naturally with indigenous yeast and are macerated on the skins for anywhere from 15-30 days depending on the vintage and the particular wine
