We had a few lovely wines, including this pair. The Meinklang is a beautiful wine: not perfect, but with immense charm and an astonishing texture. And the Th\u00f6rle was drinking at its peak. We had it with very good fish and chips, and watched music videos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meinklang Konkret Rot 2012 Burgenland, Austria<\/strong><br \/>\n13% alcohol. This is a varietal Saint Laurent, fermented and aged in 900 litre concrete eggs for 12 months. It\u2019s aromatic and floral with lifted raspberry and cranberry fruit. So floral and focused, with a little bit of sweetness from the subtly elevated volatile acidity. The palate has amazing texture and concentration of smooth, sweet black cherry and blackberry fruit. Concentrated and quite profound, with purity and texture, and a grainy, mineral, slightly chalky edge. 95\/100<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15517\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1613-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1613\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1613-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1613-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1613-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1613-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Th\u00f6rle Saulheimer H\u00f6lle Riesling Trocken 2011 Rheinhessen, Germany<\/strong><br \/>\n13.5% alcohol.
