Moric Ried Kirchberg Blaufrankisch 2021

$ 118.00

Since the 2019 vintage Roland Vellich, a master of Blaufrankisch, has bottled small amounts of his sites on the Lutzmannsberg plateau separately, showcasing their unique and distinct terroir. The Kirchberg is surrounded by forests and was planted between 1921 and the 1980s. It is the coolest and steepest slope in Lutzmannsberg with the highest lime and chalk content. The Kirchberg is lithe and fine. Long silky tannins, significant spice and bright blue aromatic fruits. It is a truly Burgundian rendering of Blaufrankisch and one that invites contemplation. The 2021 vintage Roland says was perfect ripeness without opulence with warm days and cool nights. Agreement with his assessment has come in the form of some of the highest praise and reviews possible.
