Weingut Paul Lehrner 9+1 Magnum FREE Blaufränkisch Hochäcker 2019

Riede Hochäcker in Horitschon, located in the heart of Burgenland in Austria, is one of the region's "prestige sites," known for producing flavorful, mineral-driven red wines.

The Blaufränkisch grapes were hand-harvested with care and aged for 16 months in a mix of small and large seasoned oak barrels. The result is a wine with vibrant aromas of ripe cherries and dark berries, accented by a subtle touch of spice. The oak influence is delicate and refined, allowing the fruit to shine. On the palate, it is dry, with mild acidity, soft, ripe tannins, and an elegant structure. The wine presents a harmonious balance, finishing with a delicate minerality, gentle spice, and a pleasing fruity aftertaste. It’s a versatile and approachable red that never overpowers.

With excellent value for money, this vintage offers a great ageing potential of 6-8 years. It pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, from dark meats to pizza, burgers, and pasta.
