About the naming: The stolen origin
In Greataunt Emma Schürmann´s little vineyard - beautiful site on Eisenberg - Blaufränkisch grapes have grown for 50 years on a blue and green slate substratum beneath heavily calcareous clayey loamy soil. What the land and its people bring forth on this steep southern slope has awakened the desire in us to tap these resources too.
The rocky subsoil allows good drainage. This results in freshness and bright fruit; the clay in the topsoil imparts a delicate sweetness and body. The view from the steep site adds lightness to the wine. An elegant Blaufränkisch with plenty of finesse.

Tasting note
Playful and finely woven, the nose opens with alluring aromas of spiced plum, juicy sour cherry and a delicate hint of leather, gently caressing the senses and setting the stage for a profound yet elegant Blaufränkisch. On the palate, it shows a purist character, carried by a lively, light-footed acidity and the finest tannins that awaken the taste buds. Nuances of black tea, beetroot, black pepper and blackcurrant add depth and seriousness without disturbing the balance. In its grace, as elegant as Brigitte Bardot, yet endowed with the firmness of a great Blaufränkisch, it reveals its schist soil origin, which lends it radiance and promises a great future. A wine that unites elegance and complexity while never losing its joyful, thirst-inducing charm. René Kollegger
