Jois Cuvee Altenburger

2009 Burgenland Blaufrankisch, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

The Markus Altenburger Jois Cuvee Altenburger is a beautifully crafted red wine that showcases a delightful blend of Blaufränkisch, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon from the renowned Burgenland region. With a deep ruby hue, this vintage exudes warmth and richness. On the palate, it presents a medium body with a balanced acidity that enhances its overall structure without overpowering its nuanced flavors. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of dark berries, complemented by hints of plum and a touch of spice. Tannins are firm yet approachable, providing a solid backbone that enhances the wine's aging potential. This cuvée is dry, making it an excellent companion for various dishes, from hearty stews to grilled meats, inviting you to savor every sip.

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.
