The red wine Leithaberg DAC Ried Joiser Gritschenberg, vintage 2017 from the winery Weingut Anita und Hans Nittnaus has been rated in 2019 by Peter Moser with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Blaufränkisch from the region Leithaberg in Austria.
Dark ruby with an opaque core, brightening at the rim. Overall, it is still restrained, but has dark berry fruit, black cherry and plums, a touch of citrus, and a mineral edge. The palate is full-bodied with a lively structure, sweet blackberry fruit, and fine, ripe tannins. There is great length to the mineral and saline finish. It will benefit from bottle ageing.

Juicy, elegant and full of finesse, with subtle hints of sweet cherry, well-integrated tannins, mineral notes and pronounced fruit on the persistent finish. A very promising wine with great further ageing potential.
