Gerhard Markowitsch
Ried Rosenberg Red Blend
Austria
Interesting to observe how the style of this flagship cuvée has shifted over the years, dialing back the oak, picking earlier, focusing on purity and sense of place.
Dark & slightly brooding on the nose with plum & hint of black cure leaf, freshly turned earth. A tiny pinch of spices, the wood not evident at all. Fresh & pure.
On the palate this is so juicy, medium tannin with just a tiny bite, filled with fresh damson plums and a hint of black currant. Juicy acidity, and nice length with an earthy finish. 14% alc, as in prev vintages, but this time unnoticeable. Nice depth and purity here.
This is a lovely wine, with juicy fruit and a savoury edge. Brilliant food companion.
Delish!

Got better on 2-3rd glass as needed to open up - felt bit thin and less punchy than had expected. More acid/alcohol forward although nice soft tannins and eventually more dark fruit flavours. Definitely a long finish

Aug 14th, 2023A real charmer, full of dark, ripe, sweet berries, a pinch of spice, some kirsch, a whiff of gingerbread. Very sexy.
On the palate this is medium bodied, round, smooth, velvety with ripe dark fruit, a hint of dark chocolate nibs, with a fresh, herby note, juicy acidity and a very smooth, long finish. The alc (14% alc) is slightly noticeable but overall this is a true crowd pleaser!
Perfect for Valentines Day 😉

Blend of Blaufränkisxh & Zweigelt.
Nice aromatics with black fruit and floral notes. On the palate with mid weight but a strong tannic grip. Nice juicy acidity but feels slightly disjointed right now. And the 14% alc is noticeable. Not a bad wine though.
