2023 Weinhof Bauer-Pöltl Anima

This expressive red blend from Weinhof Bauer-Pöltl brings together Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt for a warm, spiced, and grounded profile. The nose shows baked dark cherry and ripe raspberry layered with oak-driven spice, including cinnamon and clove. A subtle note of black tar and earthy depth keeps the aromatics anchored. On the palate, the fruit remains generous and dark, while oak contributes a noticeable tannic grip that frames the wine without overwhelming it. Balanced and characterful, this is a confident, well-structured red built for hearty fare.

Ideal with robust dishes such as grilled sausages, braised meats, or roast lamb. It also pairs well with mushrooms, lentils, and spice-forward vegetarian dishes.
