heinrich naked red 2015 750ml

Naked Red is an approachable entry into the wines of Gernot and Heike Heinrich and serves as an introduction to the high-quality red wines of Burgenland. It's made from a blend of Austria's signature red grape varieties: the soft and fruity Zweigelt; structured and spicy Blaufränkisch; and the aromatic St. Laurent. It is aged for 12 months in used 500-liter oak casks. Tasting Notes:

Naked Red showcases the enormous strides made in Austrian red wine and exhibits the quality of its native red grape varieties. Zweigelt serves as the wine's base, providing soft and juicy red-berried fruit while notes of tobacco and spice come from Blaufränkisch. A small percentage of St. Laurent lends floral aromas and refreshing acidity.

Food Pairing:
Zweigelt is Austria's most-planted red grape variety and is favored for its soft and fruity character, making it easy to enjoy and versatile at the table. Its fresh and bright profile allows Zweigelt to cut the richness of traditional Hungarian goulash or complement the flavor of roasted game birds or earthy chanterelle mushrooms.

Critical Acclaim:

WE89, Wine Enthusiast

"This shows a lithe profile with a distinctive savory element that accentuates the rose petal and raspberry core. Earthy notes mark the focused finish."
