This rock formation, called Ruster Schotter, contains many minerals and quartz and gives this wine it's signature elegance. They then hand pick their pristine Blaufrankisch berries then ferment them with native yeasts and age them in large used Austrian barrels for 28 months. The resulting wine is a prime example of how refined Blaufrankisch can be. Dark, intensive purple color, very delicate, aromas of forest floor, vine ripe berries and a hint of spiciness.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"until-2015-robert-and-marianne-gassner-only-made-wine-for-themselves-and-their-family-from-their-3-hectares-of-older-vines-at-their-16th-century-winery-in-rust-on-the-shore-of-lake-neusiedl-since-the-winery-inception-everything-has-been-done-by-hand-utilizing-biodynamic-preparations-with-an-emphasis-not-only-on-health-but-climate-awareness-in-this-vintage-the-same-care-was-used-but-it-was-not-yet-demeter-certified-\"\u003eUntil 2015, Robert and Marianne Gassner only made wine for themselves and their family from their 3 hectares of older vines at their 16th century winery in Rust on the shore of Lake Neusiedl.
