2012 Moric Reserve Blaufränkisch
Moric
This wine marries the great heritage of Neckenmarkt and Lutzmannsburg, and embodies Moric's concept of 'reserve' quality: selection in distinct vineyards with specific attributes regarding vine age, site and soil – just the best barrels coming out of these vineyards find their way into the Reserve Blend. Mainly based on limestone origins, the elegance and distinctive spice of the Neckenmarkter component and the earthy floral aromas of Lutzmannsburg combine to show a unity of great structure and finesse.
Grapes from 26-60 year old vines. Natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open vats and oak for 3-4 weeks on the skins. Natural malolactic fermentation. Aged 24 months in oak barrels 500-3600 litre. No fining. No filtration. No additives, except tiny quantities of sulfites. As a result of that, all of the Moric wines are vegan.

The Wine Front
95 points
Rich dark cherry and raspberry, liquorice, juniper berry, warm bricks and damp earth, sweet spices and dried flowers. Medium bodied, fleshy and fine grained tannin, ripe fruit but that spicy, slightly bitter herb character runs through and adds a dimension of interest and intrigue. Acidity is bright and tangy, with an almost orange juice sweetness (and Campari too), slick of ripe tannin and earthy flavour on the finish. Can’t decide on 94 or 95 points, but gee, it’s pretty bloody good.
