Our older vintages
Langenloiser Dechant
Blauer Burgunder
2014


Spicy hints of parsnips and anise in the nose, also detectable aromas of raspberries, simultaneously cool and engaging; juvenile and straight forward on the palate, bunch of red berries underlined by roasted flavors, soft texture, well-structured and balanced, elegant and lasting finish.
The vines for this wine grow on chalky loess and clay soils on the southeastern terraced slope of the single vineyard Dechant. (that is the German equivalent of “Dean” – the vineyard of the priest was of course meant to be something special). In the more elevated sites, the soil is interspersed with decomposing primary rock.
