About Lua Pele (Inspired by the island of Hawai’i) ...................................................................................... The Hawaiian word for volcanic eruption, the deep red color of “Lua Pele” embodies the flowing lava of the Big Island. Taste the magic in each sip of this wine. Tasting notes ...................................................................................... Color: Dark ruby red with a core of black fruit Aroma: Nuances of ripe cherries and plums, hints of figs and blackberry Palate: Full bodied elegant red with well integrated smooth tannins, complex long finish. About the vineyard ...................................................................................... The south-facing vineyard with its deep-rooted 42 years old vines gives the perfect conditions to produce very elegant and mineral driven Blue Frankish wines. The terroir of the soil is interspersed with fine marine limestone and loamy slate. About the vintage ...................................................................................... The vintage 2015 was one of incredible quality. Burgenland produced intensely colored, uncommonly ripe and concentrated wines, further distinguished by deep and dark nuances of fruit, confident elegance and a velvety background of tannins.
