“Blending Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch and aged for 21 months in used 500-liter oak barrels, the 2015 Burgenland Pannobile is deep, fresh and fleshy on the ripe and concentrated nose. Dark fruit and toast aromas lead to a silky-textured, pure and fresh palate with a straight and crystalline character.” – Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker

From the high-potential Pannobile sites located on the south-facing slopes in Gols and the east facing slopes of the Leithaberg (Leitha Mountains). A delicious reflection of the often very meagre sandy loam and the limestone and slate soils found on the north end of the Neusiedler See (Lake Neusiedl), which moderates the warm Pannonian mesoclimate.
Handpicked mid-September to the beginning of October, spontaneous fermentation, three weeks maceration on the skins in wooden fermentation vats, gentle basket press, 21 months maturation in used 500-litre oak barrels.
