Wine Description

Our Blauburger PUR grows on the site "Hiesberg", a clay soil with very stony underground (mica schist, quartz) in about 380m above sea leavel on the northern boarder of Kamptal. There the climate is already very much influenced from the cold and rough winds and nights from the region"Waldviertel". This brings fruitiness into the grapes. Der Blauburger PUR 18 was - like all of our wines - harvested by hand and fermented spontanously. The grapes were very ripen, the stalks already lignified because the harvest was very late. The whole bunches were only stamped by feed and left for 6 weeks on the skin without moving. Afterwards, the wine was recked in small used oak barrles to mature for another year before it got bottled unfitered and only with a small addition of sulphur. Der Blauburger PUR 18 ist a fruity, thick red wine with soft tannins and a long finish. It fits perfect to game dishes and steak.
