Weingut Prieler Ried Goldberg Blaufrankisch, Leithaberg DAC, Austria 2017 Cape D Or Wines The 2019 Vin de France

The 2019 Vin de France Bastingage is a pure Chenin Blanc from 25-year-old vines cultivated on the sandstone and weathered shale soils in St Aubin de Luigné

A lovely creamy texture on the tongue with a nice amount of light red berry fruit here on the finish

The opening bouquet takes a little time and air to fully reveal its ripe red and black fruit underlaid with earth and spice

Avoids all the pitfalls of sweet Sherry by maintaining its balance and mouthfeel

It has a crisp accessible character that will allow it to age relatively quickly

Weingut Prieler Ried Goldberg Blaufrankisch, Leithaberg DAC, Austria 2017 Cape D Or Wines The 2019 Vin de FranceA modern expression, with lots of extraction, balanced by the firm tannins and minerally elements. Baking spice notes add to the complexity but are not quite integrated yet, so give this a few more years to open up fully. 92 Pts Wine Spectator
