LET’S CELEBRATE OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOGETHER
Both components – Blaufränkisch + St Laurent – being in absolute harmony. They complement each other. If we had to draw a picture of this wine, it would be a beautiful princess on a horse. Her very long dress falls all the way down to the ground, so that you are not fully aware of the horse. In that case, Blaufränkisch would be the beautifully shining princess, that gets carried all the way by a rustic, but subtle horse – the Sankt Laurent.
Previous vintages of this wine were called PERSPEKTIVE ROT.
This is the last edition of this kind of red wine on our portfolio.
After vintage 2021, all the grapes that we used for this wine, have been part of ABENDROT. Since we only make wine from our own grapes, we sometimes have to let go of a wine to create something new. Sorry to let you go, though!
GRAPE VARIETIES
Blaufränkisch 70% Sankt Laurent 30%
VINEYARDS
BLAUFRÄNKISCH (1 plot, planted 2002) St LAURENT (1 plot, planted 2003) total size 0.65 hectare
VINIFICATION
The grapes got partially destemmed (approx. 10% stems in the mash) and fermented naturally in stainless steel and fiberglass vats. After about 10 days we pressed the mash and the wine was pumped into barrels (225l Barriques) in the cellar. Everything matured on gross lees for 22 months without any additives, without fining, without filtration and without temperature control.
Various barrels blended together 1 day before bottling.

LABEL: for vintages 2016 + 2017 we still used our beloved the birds /swallows label. In our country these are a symbol for true luck. When we started our wine adventure back in 2011 we needed a lot of luck. The style in general is a bit retro and shall remind you of Burgenland labels of the 1950s.
