The 2024 Pittnauer Blaufränkisch Heideboden is a fresh and expressive red wine from Burgenland, Austria, crafted by Gerhard Pittnauer. Sourced from the Heideboden area on the eastern side of Lake Neusiedl, it highlights the bright fruit and vibrant character that make Blaufränkisch one of Austria's most distinctive red grape varieties. Aromas of red cherry, blackberry, plum and subtle spice are complemented by delicate floral notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and energetic, with lively acidity supporting flavours of dark berries, red fruits and gentle peppery spice. Fine tannins provide structure while maintaining a smooth, approachable texture. The finish is dry, fresh and balanced, making it highly versatile at the table.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday red for those who enjoy bright fruit, moderate body and food-friendly freshness. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years while its vibrant character is at its peak. Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roast pork, gourmet sausages, charcuterie and mushroom-based dishes.
