Nittnaus Blaufrankisch Eastside 2017

A little bit of struck match on the nose leads onto a juicy, palate that brims with dark, alluring and juicy fruit. Think plum, cherry and blackberry. There is something joyful and sinuous about this and its soft, smooth tannins. This serious red does not take itself too seriously. 

This medium body red wine is from the Burgenland wine region in Austria. The Nittnaus family is among the best wine producers in Austria and the wine is organically farmed.  The wine's acidity and moderate tannins make it very food friendly.
