David Schildknecht, the Austrian specialist for Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, describes Roland Velich and his Moric wines this way: Roland Velich is no longer working with his brother Heinz at the family estate in Apetlon, but is pursuing his own dream, working with old vines in the heart of Blaufrankisch country Mittelburgenland, specifically Lutzmannsburg and Neckenmarkt. His are wines in a style you will not encounter anywhere else in Austria: Blaufrankisch vinified as if it were Grand Cru Burgundy, and from hillsides (including terraces) and pre-clonal vines the like of which you will not find being cultivated in most of Mittelburgenland. One sip is an Oz experience. From his dreams, to his vines, to his vinification, to his retro label, Velich is in a world of his own. — Importer

Rosi Schuster Blaufrankisch Burgenland 2017

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 19:19:37 +0000

A bright, blue-fruited Blaufränkisch, this delivers good ripeness and power, while managing to remain fresh and lively. Fermented spontaneously in open-top vats and free of any new wood, its all about fruit and earth, with dark, chewy tannins that hold the flavors long and firm – and suggest that this will age well for at least another five or six years in the cellar. -Importer

Markowitsch Blaufrankisch 2018

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 19:11:04 +0000

For red wines, Markowitsch is in a class of his own amongst Austrian producers. His vineyards, in Carnuntum are ideally situated on a slope approximately equidistant from the Danube River on one side and the Neusiedlersee on the other. The soils are sandy loam and limestone (perfect for reds) and he does not irrigate. He is equally famous for his rare cuvées of Pinot Noir, Rosenberg blend, and his ultimate “M” cuvée, as he is for his value cuvées, Rubin Carnuntum and Carnuntum Cuvée. We find his Pinot Noir to be stunning. This wine shows intense and deep fruit character, good balance and soft tannins. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks and 14 days of maceration time, the wine rests for malolactic fermentation and is aged 12 months in used french oak barrels — Importer
