Comondor

EU organicSpontaneous fermentation

Producer: Hans und Anita Nittnaus
Colour: Red
Last seen vintage: 2016
Grape varieties: Blaufränkisch, Merlot
Origin: Neusiedlersee, Burgenland, Austria

The Merlot grapes come from Kurzberg, with clay soils, while the Blaufränkisch grows on Ungerberg, on calcareous clay. After hand-harvesting and selection, the wine underwent spontaneous fermentation and was aged for 18 months in 500-litre oak casks, followed by a further year of bottle ageing. It shows dense black-red colour, dark, complex, spicy fruit and plenty of substance on the palate. The body is powerful, the structure balanced and the finish long and persistent. The 2016 vintage followed late frost and a wet, cool summer, but was able to make up considerable ground in the hot September.
