(While the pic is of this makers Chard review is for the Blaufrankish); Probably the darkest & most savory expression of Blaufrankish I’ve ever tried, & it works: black cherry & kirsch color, dense; on nose pretty open knit raspberry & black currants; the blacks currants, raspberry, & also kirsch/ beet notes on palate, with a pleasant chewy texture. For 24$ on sale a whole lotta wine, imagine the relatively long aging prerelease- over 3 years in amphorae etc -probably helped. — 10 months ago

Wow, this is an absolute bombshell of a wine, the Lorcher Riesling from Rheingau superstar Eva Fricke in the 2019 vintage. Right from the get-go, this supercharged wine blows you off your feet with its cacophony of petrol, salt, lime and garden herbs on the nose – almost like shoving your proboscis into a packet of salt and vinegar crisps. In a good way!
The palate is actually quite a contrast, with a supple, generous mouthfeel with none of the hard edges this grape can bring. Perhaps attributable to the warm, ripe vintage that 2019 was. But it offers a complex array of bitter fruits, some sweet lime, nectarine, and a long finish. It is perhaps slightly underwhelming given the supercharged aromas this wine possesses, but it’s very good stuff nevertheless!

Quite light green tinged .  Restrained fresh apple peel ,
camomile and sea breeze notes .  On the palate quite strict salivating acidity with more green fruits , along with the camomile and mineral , chalky, wet stone element .  Quite lean with just a hint of sweetness to balance with ok length.  Young but enjoyable for now and the next 5 -8 years or so — 2 years ago

A great value, quality blaufränkisch from the Burgenland. Look forward to finding some of their single vineyard expressions. — 9 months ago

Have not tired of this recent Austrian find. A ‘natural’ wine but enough old world Chardonnay stuffing to let me ignore the label. — 6 months ago
