2009 Moric Neckenmarkt Alte Reben Blaufränkisch
Moric
A selection made from the oldest vines and the best sites in Neckenmarkt. The vines grow on 80% slate and 20% limestone. The grapes are harvested separately, then fermented and elaborated for eleven months in casks. After this, an initial blend is made from the individual lots, which then enjoys a further thirteen months in oak. By means of this painstaking technique, Roland Velich of Moric gains important experience and empirical knowledge, year after year, about the individual vineyards. Only by virtue of this detailed practice can he choose the best barrels from each vintage, to give the assemblage that so desirable Neckenmarkter character which distinguishes this great wine.

18/20
A vineyard 35 minutes from Moric by car. Steep slopes, up to 400 m. At the top of the hill there is schist, then limestone, ex sea. Mainly from primary rock soils. Started here in 2002 and doing lots of single vineyard vinification.
Very deep purple. Intense, brooding nose. Very intense and nuanced and beefier than the Lutzmannsburg. Great tension and vibrato. More youthful than most. Still chewy – the chewiest.
