Hahndorf Hill "The Bluebood" Blaufränkisch 2013


"Blue, I've got a question every time I hold you
Yeah, Blue, I've got a question every time I swallow you it's true"
~ 'Blue', The Verve

Still blue: blueberries, purple florals and blueberry compote. This Blaufränkisch from leading Adelaide Hills winery, Hahndorf Hill, evokes a very blue 'response', as I commented back on the 2010 instance.

Medium bodied, Pinot-esque in some respects, yet the fruit profile is very different, its own signature. Fine tannins and a pitch of acid give this wine excellent carry of flavour - versatile food wine. 93
