2007 Moric Lutzmannsburg Blaufränkisch Alte Reben

This wine represents a selection made from the oldest vines and the best sites in Lutzmannsburg. The Lutzmannsburger plateau arose on top of a primordial volcano, and here the idyllic landscape encompasses a variety of soils: sand, clay and loam, in part lying above limestone subsoils. These confer an incomparably unique expression upon the Blaufränkisch, which manifests itself ideally in this wine. This wine has been harvested from six separate parcels, all picked and fermented separately. After at least eight months elevage in 500-litre casks, the initial blend is made, upon which the wine enjoys an additional 12 months in the barrel. 49-90+ year old vines. 27 hectolitres per hectare yield. 20-22 days maceration, spontaneous fermentation in open wooden vats and fermenters. 20 months elevage in 500-litre casks, no fining, no filtration.
