Weingut Dorli Muhr Carnuntum Blaufrankisch, 2019

Complex and distinctive blend of Syrah and Blaufrankisch

Dense with ripe red fruit yet still retaining freshness and precision. Full-bodied with earthy aromas of red berries and sour cherries. On the palate you get black cherries and plums, blueberries as a well Rhone-style Syrah’s meat and pepper character. With fine tannins and a clear, surprisingly tart finish.

A rising star in the wine world, expect to see more and more of it on our shores in the near future. Working in tandem with Syrah, this is one of our more interesting blends. Give it time in the glass and its distinctive complexity will unfold and captivate you.
