And despite the blanket of rot that descended on the Pinot Gris vineyards

The clarity of the 2016 Sangiovese fruit does break through

Moric, Lutzmannsburg Blaufrankisch Alte Reben Vintage:2019 The winery itself is locatedA little more lifted and red fruited than the 2018. Tiny, wild sour berries add a lift to the aroma. Finely dry, elegant tannins, like many layers of paper. Really dry and deliciously so. Ethereal yet persistent. A complex wine that is quite hard to describe, a conundrum of dry freshness and restrained dark fruit. Not as savoury as the 2018, with a lovely fresh lift on the finish. (JH)
