Bianka and Daniel Schmitt Kekfrankos Red 2019 750ml (No Barcode)

Bianka and Daniel Schmitt Kekfrankos Red 2019 750ml (No Barcode)This is an interesting wine for Germany as Kkfrankos is the Hungarian name for Blaufrnkisch, where the grape originates from, but has perhaps gained more recognition from Austrian producers on the world stage, where its big fruit bursts can really come into full effect with natural wine producers. As Bianka and Daniel Schmitt live and farm in Rheinhessen, Germany even having this grape is unusual and their terroir brings a different element to those

cocoa powdery tannins and a definite cedarwood character derived from French oak

dense and balanced

or hearty dishes

and a smoky undertone

a tenacious eighteen-year-old

On the nose intense mature red fruit

bright acids and a saline finish

Out of the box brewing is what they do

lemon and mango with a topping of overripe orange and vanilla

The hue is a beautiful

it's perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own

The palate entry is a touch smoky and very sweet
