Wachter Wiesler Blaufrankisch "Eisenberg" 2022 (750ml)

This is a Blaufrankisch from Wachter-Wiesler in Austria's Eisenberg region, a subregion of Burgenland known for its cool-climate red wines. The 2021 vintage captures the varietal's characteristic spice and mineral precision in a medium-bodied frame.

The wine shows a lifted, peppery character with fine tannins that feel polished rather than heavy. Black cherry and plum sit beneath layers of white pepper and herb, while the minerality runs clean and bright through the finish. This is a wine built for early drinking, with enough backbone to pair with roasted meats and hearty fare but the freshness to enjoy on its own.
