Heidi Schröck & Söhne `Junge Löwen` Burgenland, Austria, is a vibrant Red still, dry wine crafted from 85% Blaufränkisch and 15% St Laurent. Meaning 'young lions', this fresh and juicy, medium-bodied wine is fermented in large old oak barrels. It displays enticing raspberry and violet notes, complemented by a hint of black pepper, leading to a lovely vibrancy on the palate with smooth tannins and an elegant finish. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with poultry or mild cheeses. It is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Vinification
The grapes were hand harvested and quickly transported to the winery where the fruit was destemmed. The Blaufränkisch was fermented in stainless-steel tanks and the St. Laurent in an open fermenter, which was punched down twice a day by hand, for gentle extraction. Fermentation lasted for approximately three weeks. After pressing, the wines were transferred to large Austrian oak barrels (up to 60 years old) where they underwent malolactic fermentation. After eight months the wines were blended before bottling.
