Weingut Leo Hillinger Hillside Select Unfiltered Red 2019

A perfect meeting of the minds between the spice of Syrah, the fruit of the Zweigelt and the power of Merlot. With a dark ruby color and a violet rim, its fruity, fleshy and spicy aromas evoke the perception of blackberries, raspberries and ripe cherries, as well as smoked meats & black pepper, with even a hint of clove joining the mix.  On the palate, especially the blackberry and black pepper come to the fore, coupled with fine roasted aromas and very well-integrated acidity.  The subtle use of wood contributes to the robust tannin structure and the long, concentrated finish.  60% Syrah, 30% Zweigelt, 10% Merlot
