The 2023 Moric Burgenland Blaufränkisch is a vibrant and expressive red wine from Austria's Burgenland region, crafted by Roland Velich of Moric, one of the leading producers championing Blaufränkisch. This wine highlights the variety's hallmark freshness and purity, offering aromas of sour cherry, blackberry, red plum and subtle spice, alongside delicate floral and earthy notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely structured, with bright acidity supporting flavours of red berries, dark cherry and gentle peppery spice. Fine-grained tannins provide balance and shape, leading to a dry, energetic finish with impressive freshness and length.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent introduction to Blaufränkisch, showcasing the variety's bright fruit, freshness and food-friendly character. Best enjoyed over the next 4–6 years while its vibrant personality remains at its peak. Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roast pork, charcuterie, duck dishes and mushroom-based cuisine.
