Rosi Schuster, Blaufränkisch Müllendorf 2021

Produktbeskrivelse

Müllendorf er blandt Hannes Schusters enkeltmarks topvine på Blaufränkisch, og ligger på en af de sydøst vendte skrånninger udenfor landsbyen Sankt Margarethen. Her dyrkes de mere end 40 år gamle vinstokke fuldstændigt biodynamisk, og alt bliver overladt til terroir. Vinen gærer spontant hvorefter den kommer på store gamle 500l træfade i 22 måneder, og derefter bliver flasket ufiltreret. Igen en enorm koncentration der på ingen måder bliver tung og uelegant. En form for Nebbiolo møder saftig Bourgogne. Masser af tannin, frugtsyre og en næsten støvet mineralitet i baggrunden, afslutter vinens lange og komplekse karakter.

“This great blaufrankisch has a fabulous forest berry and wildflower fragrance. Super structured and super focused, it has amazing power but not the slightest hint of heaviness on the medium- to full-bodied palate. The electric acidity makes it eye-poppingly vibrant. A cornucopia of violets through the extremely long finish. From organically grown vineyards on stony limestone soils.” 97p. Stuart Pigott, James Suckling.com

“Schuster’s 2020 Müllendorf Blaufränkisch comes from vines 28 to 53+ years old on pure chalk and opens with a deep, intense, pure and spicy, indeed limey bouquet of red and even more dark fruits with dashes of fresh lemon juice as well as black tea leaves, crushed stones and toasty notes. Silky, fresh and vital on the palate, this is a full-bodied, generous and complex, very long and promising yet pure, finessed and tensioned red from a great terroir for Blaufränkisch, likely one of or even the greatest in all Austria. The wine reveals fine, ripe tannins intertwined with saline acidity and generosity without power or richness. Like great Pinot Noir, all complexity comes from the depth of the terroir. This is a gorgeous Blaufränkisch bottled with 13.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in April 2023.” 95p – Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate om 2020 årgangen.
