‘Happy Anniversary'

Blaufränkisch & St. Laurent, Burgenland, Austria 

KOPPITSCH TURNS TEN! To celebrate, a renaming of their beloved ‘Perspektive Rot’ to let the world know! Sing it from the rooftops why don’t ya, this is cause for celebration! A stylish & distinctive red from our beloved winemaking wife & husband duo Alexander & Maria Koppitsch. Grown on the finest limestone soils the Koppitsch’s Burgenland vineyards have to offer, this blend of 70% Blaufränkisch & 30% Saint Laurent is aged on gross lees in barrique for 2 years, giving us lots of woodsy “smoking a pipe in an oxblood leather armchair” vibes. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves— this red still drinks light & fresh, its cooled hot cocoa, grey & red clay and maple wood smoke character are balanced by a pure & precise hit of limestone minerality. Based on the deeper, richer fruit and structure of Blaufränkisch with a bright acid lift and flavours of sour pine needles, fermented grapefruit & bright tomato vine thanks to a sploosh of St. Laurent. The palate brings us handfuls of rinsed black olives, pumpkin patch & ume plum. We recommend pairing this unfined, unfiltered beauty with moonlit tarot card readings (you are guaranteed to draw The Magician), Nietzsche-themed book club meetings, bougie barbecues, & if at all possible, a night in a haunted castle.
