Wow this is GOOD. natural, unfined, unfiltered. ultra funky and juicy and fresh. some barnyard, farm, algae, mushroom on the nose. palate is lively and eclectic - ripe cranberry, sour cherry, mushroom, tea leaves, dirt, some cola. very fun wine.

Weinbau Vineyard, Deep Ruby color, some slight purple edges, with aromas of berry fruits and toasty herb floral spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, blueberry and plum with vanilla spice, espresso, leather and cedar herb notes. Fine tannins, slightly drying, long finish ending with fruit, toasty earthy mineral layered with sweet spicy character. Nice! — 2 years ago

Straka Blaufränkisch Eisenberg Reserve Rechnitz 2017
So expressive on the nose with Zwetschgen plum jam, spiced up with cinnamon, cloves and a touch of anise. But there’s more. Mandarine & lemon peel, dried apple, wilted flowers, smoked, dried plums, aged raw beef.
This is so multifaceted. So fresh & pure yet sweet & seductive at the same time.
On the palate this is really juicy & sappy. Ther’s some sweetness to the fruit & the scented wood accents underneath but the juicy acidity and purity is forefront adm driving this wine. There’s a savoury side to this as well, a touch of minerality, the tannins fine & dusty yet still providing a frame.
This is truly delicious stuff!! They weren’t joking about this Straka guy!
