The 2023 Rosi Schuster Blaufränkisch is an elegant Austrian red wine from Burgenland, produced by Weingut Rosi Schuster. Crafted from Blaufränkisch, a signature grape of the region, this wine reflects Burgenland's distinctive terroir and cool continental influences. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe red cherry, blackberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of violet, cracked black pepper, dried herbs and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with fine tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of juicy cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant unfold alongside hints of liquorice, pepper and savoury herbs. Its expressive fruit character is balanced by freshness and elegant structure, leading to a persistent finish with lingering red berries and gentle mineral notes.
