A producer I often check-in on at least once a year. I had never tried this cuvée before. Winemaker, Roland Velich delivers Blaufrankisch with added Zweigelt & Pinot Noir to this Austrian Burgenland blend. I’ve enjoyed it over two nights and at different temperatures. A fun try in all its forms. Straight out of the bottle it’s rugged and brambly, feeling as though I had just been bucked into a thicket of blackberries. With some air finesse settled in and the tannins became a more interesting texture play. On night two with a chill it showed more lead / graphite and plum driven fruit to add to my slice of berry cobbler. — 6 years ago

One of Roland Velichs top single vineyard wines. The 2013 shows so much potential under the surface. Red & black fruit paired with tons of herbs, soil and mineral notes. Nearly perfect example of elegant power. Velich said he always is looking for the Balance in the wines. — 8 years ago

Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Welschriesling blend. Tropical fruits, intense herbs, minerality and a lot of oak! Tastes almost like resin. Powerful. — 3 years ago

2011 is about the most solid Blaufrankish you can drink, excellent offering by Velich and Schuster under Moric. Their motto is “Fruit ferments. People ferment fruit. It’s a challenge.” 2011 is fresh black cherry, a funky acid core, with an after taste that lasts a weekend. Buy it all, it will last a decade and provide solid street cred with your wine snob friends. — 5 years ago

First vintage of this wine, Uwe Schiefer made out of a parcel which is directly beside the one from Roland Velich (Moric). A different Schiefer. Much leaner & withy with a hint more precision than the Reihburg imo. The fruit is withdrawn, lots of herbs & earth notes. Tons of potential under the surface so give it the time it needs. A totally impressive Debut. — 8 years ago
