Op Eximium n°30

A balanced powerhouse blend that pairs elegance with character. “Opus Eximium” has been Gesellmann’s flagship for over 30 vintages, a harmonious fusion of Burgenland’s iconic grapes: Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and St. Laurent.

The grapes are organically grown and hand-picked. Each variety was vinified separately with spontaneous fermentation on the skins in stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matured for 24 months in small oak barrels, followed by a final 2 months in a large wooden foeder.

In the glass, it shows deep ruby red with purple highlights. The nose is layered: dark wild blueberry jam, subtle spiciness, a hint of sandalwood and delicate floral notes. Juicy and dry on the palate, ripe cherries and blackcurrants elegantly interwoven with acidity and ripe tannins. The finish is long, spicy and stylish.
