Nittnaus, Blaukfränkisch, Burgenland, Austria, 2013

Martin, part of the next generation of Austrian winemakers, managed to convince his father to let him loose on a small plot of north-facing vines and the result after a long and slow ripening season is this pure and elegant offering with floral notes, blackberry and spice.  There is a depth of flavour too making this a very appealing wine.
