Blauburger PUR 2016

The Blauburger is a crossing of Blauer Portugieser and Blaufränkisch. It is a classic variety in the Kamptal. Nevertheless, it is very difficult to find varietals Blauburger. In the most cases, it is used as a Cuvee-Partner because of its fruitiness and lightness. Our Blauburger grows on a clay soil with parts of stony soil – mainly mica schist on 380m above sealevel. The vineyard is situated at the northern boarder of the Kamptal, which is already very much influenced, by the rough winds and the cool nights of the Waldviertel. This brings the fruitiness in this wine. Blauburger PUR belongs to our “Red Line”. After spontaneous fermentation and maceration for 6 weeks it was filled in big oak barrels for maturing without addition of sulphur. It was also bottled without addition of sulphur and unfiltered! The result is a full-bodied red wine with soft tannins and a fruity taste of dark berries. It´s a good companion to lamb and deer.
