Heinrich Blaufraenkisch 2019 12,5% Vol. 0,75l

The Heinrich winery is located in Gols in Burgenland. It is run by Gernot and Heike Heinrich. A great wine can only be produced if the vines feel at home. The family's vineyards are located in Purbach, Breitenbrunn, Winden, Jois, Neusiedl am See, Weiden, Gold, Moenchhof and Podersdorf. The numerous hours of sunshine around Lake Neusiedl allow the grapes to develop fully and reflect this intensity in the taste.

Heinrich Blaufraenkisch is grown in vineyards on mineral-rich soils that are rich in limestone and slate. These geological conditions give the wine its distinctive minerality and clear structure. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand in mid-September. A special feature of the wine is the spontaneous fermentation, which takes place without the addition of cultivated yeasts and emphasizes the authentic characteristics and pure taste of the wine.

The fermentation phase takes place both in traditional wooden fermentation vats and in steel tanks, with the wine being left on the skins for two weeks. This step is crucial for the extraction of aromas and colorants. Maturation takes place over several years in selected, used 500-liter oak barrels and in wooden fermentation racks. The final phase of ageing ends with the bottling of the wine, which is sealed with natural corks.
