The Markus Altenburger red Leithaberg DAC is a 100% Blaufränkisch, grown in the top terroirs Gritschenberg and Jungenberg. The result is a Blaufränkisch from the picture book, a burgundy-type: fresh, elegant, animating, precise and storable. It was first grown in 500 l Barrels and then in large traditional wooden barrels, until the perfect maturity for bottling was achieved. 2017 is considered an elegant red wine vintage with dense and complex wines, which will have a long life ahead.
