Franz Weninger, Steiner Kekfrankos 2017 Garnacha blanca lychee and lime

lychee and lime

akin to that in a green Chartreuse

Perfect with a wide range of light and creamy dishes

full of citrus fruits and peach along with notes of brioche

with pleasant refreshing acidity

Franz Weninger, Steiner Kekfrankos 2017 Garnacha blanca lychee and limeComing from 50+ year old vines, this Blaufrankisch is hand harvested, fermented in a mix of wooden and concrete vats and then aged for 24 months in 500L barrels. Just 4600 bottles were produced of this highly intriguing, immensely complex and layered red. There's a palpable spiciness right at the forefront, revealing earth, plum, chocolate, cherry, pepper and leather.
