Paul Achs Blaufränkisch Heideboden

A Blaufränkisch that shows what the Pannonian Seewinkel region is capable of: juicy red fruit, clear structure, ready-to-drink character without compromising on depth.

Paul Achs manages his vineyard in Gols on Lake Neusiedl, in the heart of Burgenland. The Heideboden – an extensive gravel terrace with a sandy subsoil – directly shapes this Blaufränkisch: the permeable substrate keeps the vines taut and gives the wine its lively acidity. Paul Achs is considered one of the leading winemakers of the Seewinkel region, known for fruit-forward, clearly vinified red wines that are easy to drink and perfect for everyday enjoyment.

In the glass, the wine shines ruby ​​red. The nose offers ripe sour cherry, cranberry, and wild raspberry—red-fruited, fresh, with a hint of pepper in the background. On the palate, it is juicy and medium-bodied, the tannins firm but smooth, the finish spicy and herbaceous, and pleasantly long.

Serving suggestion: 16–17 °C, ready to drink now. Pairs well with grilled duck breast, goulash, rack of lamb with herbs, or a robust cheese platter. Also a good choice as a casual accompaniment to a weeknight dinner.
