Altenberg

2006 Burgenland Blaufränkisch

Paul Achs Altenberg is a striking expression of Blaufränkisch from the esteemed region of Burgenland, known for its rich viticultural heritage. This captivating red wine presents a medium-bodied profile, seamlessly balancing a firm structure with a refreshing level of acidity. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with alluring notes of dark cherry, ripe plum, and subtle spice, complemented by hints of earthiness. The tannins are notable but well-integrated, giving the wine a graceful yet powerful finish that lingers delightfully on the palate. This wine is dry, making it a remarkable partner for a variety of culinary delights, from grilled meats to hearty stews, showcasing the exceptional terroir of Burgenland.

Austria may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of quality wine, but this slice of central Europe is home to crisp whites and elegant reds that are well worth seeking out. While many classic grapes are grown here, there are exceptional wines made from varieties you rarely see anywhere else, such as white Grüner Veltliner. Spicy and herbaceous, this wine combines notes of white pepper and asparagus with flint and apple. As for reds, the most planted is Zweigelt. This grape is a hybrid of two other local varietals: the spicy Blaufränkisch and light St. Laurent. It combines the best of both worlds with flavors of chocolate, black pepper and fresh raspberry.
