Blaufränkisch Kalkstein - Claus Preisinger

The light-footed Blaufränkisch Kalkstein from the pen of Claus Preisinger shimmers into the glass with brilliant purple. The nose of this red wine from Burgenland enchants with notes of mulberry, blueberry, blackberry and black currant. If we trace the aromatics further, bitter chocolate, cinnamon and sun-warmed rock come into play.

This red from Claus Preisinger is the right choice for all wine drinkers who like it dry. However, it never appears sparse or brittle, but round and supple. Due to its lively fruit acidity, the Blaufränkisch Kalkstein reveals itself to be fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. The final of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Burgenland finally impresses with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral hints of the soils dominated by limestone and black earth.

Vinification of the Claus Preisinger Blaufränkisch Limestone

The elegant Blaufränkisch Kalkstein from Austria is a single-varietal wine, made from the Blaufränkisch grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Burgenland. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of limestone, loess soil, volcanic rock and black earth. The grapes for this red wine from Austria, when perfectly ripe, are harvested exclusively by hand. After the harvest, the grapes reach the winery by the fastest route. Here they are sorted and carefully ground. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures. After its end, the Blaufränkisch Kalkstein is aged for another 8 months in oak barrels.
