Clemens Krutzler 2023 Blaufrankisch, Burgenland, Austria

The grapes for this wine were picked early, fermented for 5 months in stainless steel, aged for 8 months in used barrels and rested for 6 months in bottle before being released. A combination of stewed cherries and cherry preserve pair with light baking spices to create a European cherry pie flavor profile. Bright red fruit like cranberries and pomegranate bring a little tartness to the wine as if you were eating fresh fruit. Light tannins serve as a break between the rich fruit and tart fruit, creating a wonderful balance.
