{"product_id":"markus-altenburger-blaufrankisch-vom-kalk-2024","title":"Markus Altenburger Blaufränkisch vom Kalk 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarkus Altenburger has become one of Austria's most respected growers, particularly for his work with Blaufränkisch in the limestone-rich vineyards of Leithaberg. Based in Jois, Burgenland, he farms organically and makes wines with a strong emphasis on freshness, balance and the character of the vineyard. Blaufränkisch has always been central to the estate, and Markus has played an important role in showing just how elegant and expressive the variety can be when grown on limestone rather than made in a heavier, more extracted style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlaufränkisch vom Kalk 2024 comes from several parcels around Jois, where the vines grow on limestone and chalky loam soils. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in old oak, it's a lovely expression of the grape, with bright fruit and a distinctly savoury character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSour cherry, blackberry and red plum are joined by black pepper, dried herbs and a little earthy spice. The palate is juicy and fresh, with fine tannins, good acidity and a mineral edge that keeps everything nicely focused. There's enough structure to make it interesting at the table, but it's also the sort of red that's particularly enjoyable with a slight chill. A fantastic introduction to Blaufränkisch and a wine that makes a strong case for drinking more Austrian reds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50900379271361,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/Markus_Altenburger_Blaufr_nkisch_vom_Kalk_2024.png?v=1793926522","url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/products\/markus-altenburger-blaufrankisch-vom-kalk-2024","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
