Judith Beck 2021 Blaufrankisch 750ml

Fermented in an open wooden vat for about two weeks and aged in used small barrels, the 2021 Blaufränkisch offers a pure yet intense and still-reductive bouquet of ripe, dark berries and cherries with saline and tea aromas. Lush and round on the palate, this is a light to medium-bodied, beautifully balanced red with fine and spicy tannins and lovely acidity that carries the wine to an aromatic and stimulating finish.
