Sonnenfürst

Sonnenfürst comes from one of Neckenmarkt’s most esteemed single vineyards, the Hochberg, a site ideally suited to Blaufränkisch. The mica schist soils store daytime heat and release it slowly at night, supporting steady ripening and lending the wine its distinctive spicy, mineral character with a more filigree structure. Strict yield control and continuous quality management ensure a precise expression of the site.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby garnet colour. The nose reveals notes of redcurrant, while the palate is smoky, lively and finely structured, with polished tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Pairs well with roasted or grilled red meat, game dishes, or mushroom-based dishes such as grilled king oyster mushrooms or herb-roasted root vegetables.
Recommended serving temperature: 16–18 °C.
