The Blaufränkisch "Setz" from the Tinhof winery is an impressive expression of the Leithaberg terroir and demonstrates impressively why this origin is considered one of Austria's most exciting red wine regions. In the barren, limestone- and slate-dominated vineyards around the Leithaberg, grapes of extraordinary finesse, depth, and precision are produced.
On the nose, dark cherry, blackberry, and forest berries unfold, accompanied by fine spice, pepper, herbs, and a cool mineral note. On the palate, the wine is juicy, structured, and elegant all at once, with a ripe, fine-grained tannin structure, excellent balance, and a long, tension-filled finish. The Blaufränkisch Setz combines power and drinkability in an impressive way, all while remaining precise and terroir-driven.
A great Austrian red wine from the Leithaberg, perfect with beef, lamb, game, mushroom dishes, or aged hard cheese – and a must-have wine for lovers of mineral, structured Blaufränkisch styles.
