Nittnaus Anita & Hans – Gritschenberg 2021 showcases the unmistakable signature of the Nittnaus family – precision, depth, and a powerful Pannonian character in perfect balance. The fruit comes from the high, stony Gritschenberg site, where cool winds and schist-rich soils shape the wine’s intensity and striking mineral backbone. A Blaufränkisch of great expression – energetic, layered, and truly timeless.

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep, dark ruby with youthful violet hues.

Nose: Concentrated aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and ripe plum, supported by graphite, dried herbs, and a refined smoky spice.

Palate: Taut, silky, and precise. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity drive the wine forward. Layers of dark fruit, subtle herbal notes, salty minerality, and a touch of cocoa unfold on the palate. Power and elegance in perfect harmony.

Finish: Long, focused, and mineral, carried by dark fruit and delicate spice. A wine with great aging potential and remarkable inner tension.

Serving Recommendation

Serve at 16–18 °C. Excellent with game birds, braised beef, lamb, herb-driven dishes, or aged hard cheese. A Blaufränkisch built for longevity – and one that will gain depth and elegance with every passing year.
