Del Monego

Blaufränkisch comes from two areas: the limestone and schist soils of the Leithaberg

This is velvety and unapologetically full-bodied

With signs of new wood on the palate

Vibrant and expressive aromas reminiscent of white fruits

The Bryce Vineyard Pinot is floral and spice focused

Extremely good quality with fine tannins that build

Syrah and Torrontés

the wine comes through with dark fruit and berries

showing lots of linear drive and more depth than its weight would have suggested it could

as dusty dried florals and hints of animal musk come forward

It's a ripe and powerful vintage for Pintia
