Ried Vierteljoch

2020 Burgenland 100% Blaufränkisch

Weingut Michael Opitz's Ried Vierteljoch is a stunning expression of Blaufränkisch from the picturesque Burgenland region. This red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, with a vibrant acidity that adds a refreshing lift to its character. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing an enticing medley of dark berries and cherries, accompanied by subtle spice notes that enhance its complexity. Tannins are notable yet soft, providing a supportive structure without overwhelming the palate. The wine is dry, allowing its bright flavors to shine through beautifully, making it an exquisite choice for food pairings or enjoying on its own. Burgenland's terroir and the careful craftsmanship of Weingut Michael Opitz come together to create a wine that is both elegant and approachable.

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.
