Silvia Heinrich Blaufrankisch 'Burgenland' 2023

Weingut Silvia Heinrich, based in Austria’s Mittelburgenland, is a family estate known for its focus on Blaufränkisch and its careful, vineyard‑driven approach. Their Blaufränkisch typically shows pure, dark‑fruited aromatics with notes of black cherry, blackberry and a touch of violet, supported by subtle spice and a faint mineral edge from the region’s iron‑rich soils. There’s a quiet savoury undertone that reflects both the grape and the estate’s restrained use of oak, giving the nose clarity and definition. The palate is medium‑bodied and finely structured, with lively acidity and firm but polished tannins that carry the fruit cleanly through to the finish. Dark berries remain at the core, joined by gentle herbal notes and a hint of pepper, creating a long, balanced and quietly energetic expression. It’s a focused, authentic style that reflects Heinrich’s reputation for precision and purity in Blaufränkisch. Weingut Silvia Heinrich
