Ried Roterd, Blaufranksich, 2018

Ried Roterd, a sub-plot on the Spitzerberg, has a bit more humidity in the soil producing wines with a creamier texture. Not so dramatic as some of the other wines, such as Liebkind, but the Blaufrankisch grown here is incredibly round and soft, making incredibly delicious, more approachable wines. The original vineyard of Dorli’s grandmother, Dorli has gradually expanded her holdings plot by plot to achieve a total of 2.5 HA (of 4 in total) including new plantings. Once the new plantings come on stream we may see the Ried Roterd overtake Liebkind and Ried Spitzerberg in terms of production.
