Monkeyshed Wines

This was just too tasty to leave behind but I did have to wonder, will anyone want to drink an Austrian “Red” made from a blend of what might as well be three varieties of cabbage? Well if not they certainly should!
This is really good. Almost like drinking velvet. It has a rich, luxurious and envelopingly softness up front and through the middle with just the right amount of solid backbone to hold up the rear and stop it loosing all shape in a pool of loveliness. To the blend. The Blaufrankisch is deemed to bring the alluring fragrance of good Gamay and some of the gaminess of Syrah. It is long and sinewy on the palate. St. Laurent brings colour, depth, delicacy and balance. Zweigelt is named after the good doctor who crossed the Blaufrankisch and St Laurent - an obvious move I hear you cry as one!
I really like this. Try it, I think you will too.
