2016 Moric Burgenland Blaufränkisch
Moric
Roland had frost in spring but then the season was memorable for its beautiful autumn. The wines have great acidity, he says – a long-term keeper. Here we have about 20-25% whole bunches in the ferment – with, says Roland, very careful maceration of the whole clusters. It’s apparent on an extremely floral nose (violets) with bramble fruit. It’s a juicy, flowing entry with herbal whole-bunch notes chiming in with the fruit. Gathers spice and gravelly mineral input as it goes, then with lovely fresh cut from the tannins and acid. – Ed Merrison, CellarHand

Out of Mittelburgenland and from the BlauMaster, Roland Velich. Moric really in the vanguard for this outstanding Austrian grape variety. This 2016 is very fine and fresh, barely touched by winemaking edifice and expressive of an acid-driven growing season. From old vines and biodynamic farming too. Ultra-lacy, silky red of very fine detail, layers of spice, high floral perfume and a general sense of fragility and delicacy. Hits the palate with a wafer thin glass shard of flavour, stains the palate gently and finishes with a breeze of pleasant sour cherry and waft of pepper. I love the sense of vitality here, a wine alive, dancing and refreshing and it’s best for spring and summer, you could say. Beautiful wine of filigree.
