Leithaberg

2004 Burgenland 75% Blaufränkisch, 25% Zweigelt

Braunstein Leithaberg is a captivating red wine that showcases the distinct characteristics of the Burgenland region, crafted from a blend of seventy-five percent Blaufränkisch and twenty-five percent Zweigelt. This wine presents a medium-bodied profile, complemented by a lively acidity that enhances its freshness. The fruit intensity is notably prominent, with layers of dark cherry and blackberry enveloped in subtle spicy notes, creating a harmonious balance. Tannins are structured yet refined, lending a firm backbone without overwhelming the palate. The wine is dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. The 2004 vintage exemplifies the rich terroir of its origins and reflects the meticulous attention to detail in its production.

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.
