Anita & Hans Nittnaus Blaufränkisch, “Reid Neusiedler Lange Ohn”, Leithaberg 2019

The Lange Ohn vineyard is situated southeast of Jois (see above), closer to Lake Neusiedl’s northern edge. This pure-south-exposed site of clay and limestone produces a rich, round Blaufränkisch, with red, warm-toned fruit and broad texture. This spends 18 months in used 500-liter Stockingers before being bottled with minimal sulfur, and it should evolve beautifully over the coming 15 to 20 year.
