After a week of sobriety, miserable weather and plenty of slumbrous engagement it is time for something new and unfamiliar. Today, I am about to drink my first wine made from Blauer
Wildbacher. This Blauer Wildbacher is supposedly an ancient dark
skinned grape variety which is a particular specialty from
Styria in Austria. In most cases Blauer Wildbacher wines are produced as
easy drinking (or sometimes not so easy - due to unique spiciness) Rosé wines. The so called Schilcher wines. Today's wine is far away from humble Rosé. Today's one is one of the few
oak barrel aged "real" redsters made from Wildbacher. Its producer Thomas Strohmaier is without a doubt one of the major experts in the business of this
autochtonous grape varietal from Western Styria. Besides my Wildbacher he also produces four different Schilcher wines. Pretty excited right
now, I guess ... Let's go!
