Kolfok, Blaufrankisch Guterweg Neckenmarkter 2018 Schioppettino grapefruit and dried pineapple alongsideFrom the schist gneis the Blaufrnkisch gets warm, but still mineral aromas, also some spice. From the limestone it gets cooler notes, elegant and subtle flavours. Aged for 19 month in 1200L barrels.
