This Blaufränkisch, in its pure, varietal form, is relatively new to the Pöckl range. Aromas of concentrated blackberry confit and a fine spice of tobacco and balsamic vinegar. Ripe, dark cherries, subtle oak notes, and well integrated, ripe tannins on the palate. The finish adds a refreshing salty minerality.

CRITIC RATINGS

"Juicy, multifaceted, well-integrated acidity structure.. a versatile style with good ageing potential." (Peter Moser, Weinguide Österreich 2022/23)
91 Falstaff

The nose reveals concentrated blackberry confit and a fine spice of tobacco and balsamic vinegar. On the palate, the wine shows ripe, dark cherries, subtle oak notes, and well-integrated, ripe tannins. The finish adds a refreshing salty minerality. It’s drinking beautifully now, but can age for another decade or so.
