Hochacker

2008 Burgenland Blaufränkisch

The Paul Lehrner Hochacker is a delightful red wine originating from the renowned Burgenland region, specifically crafted from the Blaufränkisch varietal. This 2008 vintage offers a captivating experience with its medium-bodied structure that harmonizes beautifully with its lively acidity. The wine showcases a prominent fruit intensity, highlighting the vibrant flavors of dark berries and cherries, with a hint of earthiness that adds depth. Tannins are well-integrated, providing a subtle firmness that supports the wine’s overall balance. While the Hochacker leans toward a dry profile, it maintains an approachable character, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty stews. This wine is a testament to the rich terroir of Burgenland, inviting enthusiasts to indulge in its layered complexity and elegance.

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.
