Here Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, and Merlot have been blended into a tantalizing work of art.

Data specification Veratina 2005 Blaufränkisch KirchholzThis wine is characterized by a dark ruby-pomegranate color, a clear, spicy Blaufränkisch fruit with distinctive mineral notes. Vinified from grapes produced by over 30-year-old vines grown on a terrain of clay-loam soil mixed with sand and gravel. Fermentation (spontaneous) and further aging in 2-year-old barriques yields a wine that is full-bodied on the palate with a pronounced fruity flavor of plums and blackberries and striking tannins!

Data specification Blaufränkisch Kirchholz 2004 Blaufränkisch DürrauFranz Weninger vinified his Blaufränkisch grapes from the Dürrau site as a single-site wine for the first time in 1999. The wine represents the rough-and-ready Blaufränkisch grape variety, robust, rich in extracts, superb tannins, and a strong smoky, woody flavor. Exceptionally dark, ruby-pomegranate color, intensive blackberry aromas, the juicy fruitiness of black cherries give this dense wine, which is very typical for this region, its distinctive quality.

Data specification Dürrau 2003 Pinot Noir KalkofenThis southern slope is known for its warm, chalky soil. Franz Weninger vinifies the grapes grown here to produce a barrique-aged Pinot Noir with plenty of fruit and a pleasant caramel-woody aroma.
