NEWS: Austria's best red 12 Mar 2011 by Jancis Robinson/Financial Times
………….But the grape variety that is probably most likely to put Austrian reds on the map is Blaufränkisch, known as Kékfrankos over the border in Hungary, and Lemberger in southern Germany and Washington state. It has the most attractive, and currently fashionable, combination of medium rather than full body, a refreshing aroma, and the ability to transmit quite subtle differences in terroir with precision - in Austrian anyway.
The greatest concentration of fascinating Blaufränkisch is in Burgenland, with the wine produced in Leithaberg on the western shore of the Neusiedlersee being so distinctively mineral-soaked that it has earned its own special appellation.
Prieler Blaufränkisch 2008 Leithaberg 17 Drink 2011-2017
Leithaberg is one of the DACs. Haunting nose with real depth and intensity. Limestone and minerally and chewy. Lots to chew on here! Together. Beginning, middle and end. As much terroir as in Achleiten! 13%
