Varietal

Blaufrankisch

Blaufränkisch is a red grape variety primarily grown in Central Europe, particularly in Austria and Hungary, where it thrives in cool climate conditions. It produces wines that are deep in color with medium to full body, characterized by flavors of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, along with notes of spice, pepper, and sometimes a hint of tobacco. Blaufränkisch wines are known for their firm tannins, good acidity, and aging potential, which allow them to develop complexity over time. What makes Blaufränkisch unique is its ability to reflect its terroir, with Austrian versions often showing more minerality and elegance compared to the richer, fruit-forward styles from Hungary. It pairs well with hearty dishes like roasted meats and game, showcasing its versatility and ability to complement robust flavors.
