Moric
This wine marries the great heritage of Lutzmannsburg, St Georgen and Zagersdorf, 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, elegance and distinctive spice weave with earthy floral aromas to show a unity of great structure and finesse.

There’s not much of it about, as I understand it, but if you want to a taste of how good, and distinctive, Austrian red wine can be, then this is worth seeking out. Importer: Cellarhand
Floral, peppery, fresh blackberry, sour cherry, wet clay, and something along the lines of venison with juniper berries. It’s deep, spicy and earthy, with dense peppery tannin, a tamarind tang and blood orange freshness, bold but also tight with a distinctly ‘mineral’ feel, and an intense finish laden with spiced plum and a dark and sooty trail of tannin. Heavy yet light, pretty yet saline. A wine of contrast and intriguing personality. Yes.

The 2017 Blaufränkisch Burgenland Moric Reserve is deep, concentrated and very intense on the nevertheless pure, fresh and floral nose that is populated with dark, tart fruit aromas along with floral and peppery notes. Silky textured, finessed and almost light on its feet in the first moment, this is a pure, salty and very fresh and tensioned Blaufränkisch with the texture of a tart Pinot Noir with fine-grained tannins and the saline purity of the terroirs in Lutzmannsburg and St Georgen. Add Zagersdorf and you get a complete, ambitious and terroir-driven blend of Austria's greatest red wine variety. This 2017 is so pure and tensioned (due to a percentage of whole clusters) that I recommend cellaring it for at least 3-5 years. The finish is almost Chablis-like. Bottled in September 2019 and tasted in June 2020.
