"It starts with the color, a barely there translucent salmon/pink. Lighter bodied, crisp, clean, and fresh with a profile of flowers, cantaloupe and honeydew melons, minerals, and a hit of strawberries. " Beautiful and refined rose that compels your hand to keep tipping the bottle until it is gone. A new favorite to say the least."

| 2007 Weingut Zull Blauer Portugieser |
What a welcomed little find this was. After cracking into this juicy little number from Austria, I think we’ll all agree that the obscure and the ignored need to be brought further into focus….immediately! I’m referring to a Blauer Portugeiser (what?)…..a red grape variety grown in northern Austria’s Weinviertel region, but is rumored to have origins in, you guessed it…..Portugal. A young Phillip Zull vinifies it to be a simple, supple, chill-able red with just a kiss from the earth which the vines are planted in. The time has come for you to make a blind date with one of Europe’s best kept vino secrets. – Michael Koehler – Suburban’s Austrian Wine Seeker
Tasting Notes:
A youthful, fresh bouquet rises from the glass, but not in a Beaujolais or Cerasuolo kind of way. Plumy purple and black fruits are accented with herb/earth notes in this un-oaked, un-manipulated, meant-for-young-consumption Austrian red. Nothing else this simple offers such delight…..the sip-me-again reflex will be in full effect. Serve it at 55 degrees with lightly-seasoned meats on the grill.
