100% Blaufrankisch fermented with 30% whole cluster, aged 2 years in wood barrique.
A project of Dirk Niepoort, his partner Dorli Muhr who's family owns the vineyards and makes the wines with help originally from the owner and winemaker at Veyder-Malberg. I only found this out after visiting with Peter Malberg in the Wachau this past September. The wine world can seem really small sometimes!
The wine itself reminded me a lot of a Chinon or Saumur-Champigny, bright red fruits with lots of pepper spice, tobacco and crunchy acids. The tannin was medium grain and in combination with the fresh acids provided a rigid and snappy structure.
