Description
The Eichenwald DER GEISTESBLITZ Blaufränkisch Reserve 2022 is an outstanding red wine from Central Burgenland that expresses the terroir of its origin with precision and elegance. As a single-varietal Blaufränkisch, it exemplifies the strong character, mineral and spicy style that has made Burgenland internationally renowned. The warm Pannonian influences meet cool night-time temperatures here - ideal conditions for complex aromas, dense structure and fine acidity.
The wine was matured for 24 months in barriques (first and second passage), giving it depth, structure and a noble woody note without losing any of its freshness. The 2022 vintage is exceptionally clear and terroir-driven: precise, sinewy and full of character. In the magnum bottle (1.5 l), its development unfolds particularly harmoniously and allows for impressive ageing potential. At 14% vol., Eichenwald Der Geistesblitz combines power, finesse and complexity - a wine that will delight both connoisseurs and lovers of fine Austrian red wines.

Tasting notes:
The bouquet of the Eichenwald Blaufränkisch Reserve 2022 is noble and multi-layered, characterized by fine-grained spice aromas such as black cardamom and dried bay leaves. Dark fruit is reminiscent of blackberries and blueberries, while the mineral depth of the soil can be felt in the background. This multi-layered interplay of aromas continues on the palate: precise, structured and elegant, with a delicate, varietal acidity that gives the wine tension and life. The texture is sinewy, supported by a fine mesh of tannins that perfectly balances power and harmony. The use of wood is delicate and discreet, and subtle espresso notes unfold in the long finish - an impressive, profound red wine with aristocratic elegance.
Acidity: 5.6 g/l
Residual sugar: 1.6 g/l
The Eichenwald Der Geistesblitz Blaufränkisch Reserve 2022 is an excellent accompaniment to matured beef, braised game, saddle of venison, rack of lamb or hearty ragouts. It also harmonizes perfectly with mushroom risotto, grilled vegetables with Mediterranean herbs or hard cheese. Its fine spiciness and elegance also make it an ideal wine for enjoyable evenings, sophisticated menus or special occasions. Its depth is particularly impressive in the magnum bottle - a premium Blaufränkisch that impresses with its precision, sense of origin and long-lasting finish.
