Nittnaus Elektra Blaufrankisch 2021

From the sun-soaked slopes of Burgenland, Austria’s eastern wine frontier, comes this vibrant expression of Blaufränkisch—one of the country’s most prized red varieties. Martin Nittnaus of the biodynamic pioneering Nittnaus family, crafts the Elektra with a focus on purity and drinkability. Bright red and black berries lead the way—think wild raspberry, cherry confit—lifted by notes of orange zest and dried herbs. The texture is lithe and energetic, with soft tannins and a stony, slightly saline finish that reflects the limestone and schist soils. Serve slightly cool and let it shine with anything from grilled vegetables to roast duck.
