2018 BLAUFRÄNKISCH

RED WINES

Notes from the Winemakers

A medium bodied red, smooth tannins and an earthy complexity make for a food friendly wine that will age well for many years to come. Flavors of red berries and French oak spice.

Production Notes

Harvested in late October, this fruit was run through a flash détente machine in order to extract color and grape skin tannins. The wine was aged for 3.5 years in French and American oak. This wine is bottled unfiltered.
