Notes & Pairings

This is a rare bit of something extra. Normally all of the Blaufränkisch goes into the Crazy Lud Red. This vintage was so healthy and productive that there was little leftover that didn’t make the final blend. Sourced from volcanic vineyards in the Fruška Gora, it’s a combination of a middle harvest and a super overripe harvest. It was then open vat fermented with 5 days of skin contact followed by 15 months in smaller format oak barrels. This is a rare opportunity both in this being available and in the limited amount we have to see Oszkár’s handling of it.
