2015 Pittnauer 'Pittnauski'
Pittnauer
The Pittnauski is a very personal wine to Gerhard Pittnauer, one that he has longed to create. Using his decades of knowledge and experience, Gerhard has created a wine that isn’t driven by tannin and alcohol but subtlety, all the while expressive and complex. Fruit for the blend comes from Gerhard and Brigitte's best vineyards Rosenberg (sandy), Altenberg (clay) and Ungerberg (loam), located in Austria's northern Burgenland. It's composed of Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and St. Laurent (roughly 40:40:20). Separately fermented and vinified, the wines are aged individually in barrel. Once combined the blend is bottled without filtration.
The 2015 Pittnauer Pittnauski is juicy and vibrant. Dark fruits, red petals with pepper and earth tones fill the palate. Firm tannin creates structure and balance. Delicious.

Tar and smoke provide a mere edge to the plum fruit on the nose. The still taut palate presents a picture of dark fruit, fine tannin and an edge of mocha. This is dense and will relax with just a little bottle age. Freshness is guaranteed, as is juicy, licorice-scented fruit. Drink 2020–2030.

A wine that glides over the palate, just medium weight, succulent with firm but lacy tannins, good acidity, loaded with cherry flavours and dried herb character. Feels understated in the best possible way, one to whisk around in a big glass and settle in and watch open. Such a good vibe here.
