A charming expression of one of Austria’s classic red varietals, Ruttenstock Blauer Portugieser Alte Reben 2024 is crafted from carefully nurtured old vines that deliver exceptional fruit concentration and remarkable elegance. Combining traditional winemaking with modern precision, this vibrant vintage captures the freshness, finesse, and approachable character that make Blauer Portugieser a favorite among red wine enthusiasts.
Bright ruby red in color with delicate violet reflections, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, red currant, and plum, beautifully complemented by subtle floral notes, gentle spice, and a touch of earthy complexity. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and silky, offering fresh flavors of juicy red berries, cranberry, and sweet cherry, supported by soft tannins and lively acidity. The influence of old vines adds depth and texture, while the wine’s vibrant fruit profile and balanced structure create an elegant and highly enjoyable tasting experience.
The finish is smooth, fresh, and pleasantly persistent, leaving lingering notes of red fruits, delicate spice, and subtle earthy nuances that invite another sip.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, grilled pork, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, light pasta, soft cheeses, and traditional Austrian cuisine.
Serving Suggestion: Best served at 14–16°C. Light decanting for 10–15 minutes will enhance its fresh aromas, silky texture, and vibrant fruit character.
