M. Jagini Description
The 2012 vintage of this joint project between Roland Velich (Moric) and Hannes Schuster (Rosi Schuster) continues to elevate what a Blaufrankisch wine can be. Harvested from old vines in one of the top sites in all of Burgenland, the Jagini delivers its usual intensity while maintaining a nice acidity that brings the whole thing into perfect balance.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Seductive on the nose, with aromas of fruit leather, violet and lavender, while the palate sports sanguine notes and flavors of elderberry, dark cherry and bergamot. Complex and beautifully integrated, but still showing some tannins and freshness. Drink now through 2026. 55 cases imported. — AZ

From an old high-density plot with 50- to 100-year-old Blaufränkisch vines on the deep and loamy soils of Zagersdorf, the 2012 Jagini Zagersdorf is very pure, precise, fresh and spicy on the nose. Silky textured, with a ripe and fleshy fruit concentration, ripe tannins and great tension, this is a lovely pure and grippy red raised for three years in barrels of different sizes (500, 1500 and 1700 liters) and another year in bottle. The plot is planted with 8,000 vines per hectare (1.20 x 1.20 m) and the material is obviously from Hungary (no clones, just mass selections). Whereas the 2011 was only two years in barrels, the 2012 (and the 2013) remain three years due to the loamy soils which produces wines that develop only slowly.
