I was invited by The Wine Agency to meet Dorli Muhr for lunch and to taste her great wines. Time flies, it was four years since I met her last (then during the covid period, trough Zoom) - Barolista: Lunch Tasting With Stunning Blaufränkisch From Dorli Muhr.
All wines 100% Blaufränkisch except for the Carnuntum. Dorli source the grapes from 12 ha (11 ha Blaufränkisch and 1 ha Syrah) and from 40 different plots. More info here - https://dorlimuhr.at/
2019 Carnuntum
65% Blaufränkisch & 35% Syrah. A pure, spicy nose with notes of bluberries, green pepper and chrushed rocks.
The taste is cool and seedy with notes of damsons, blueberries and gravel. A fine dryness in the finish.
