Blaufränkisch

Blaufränkisch, a key Central European grape variety, is prominent in Südburgenland (Eisenberg), Mittelburgenland (Blaufränkischland), and Leithaberg. In Austria, it is the second most popular red wine variety after Zweigelt. Additionally known as Limburger or Lemberger, especially in Germany and the United States, but it is cultivated in limited quantities in the United States. Classic Austrian Blaufrankisch wines are characterized by intense colour, medium-bodied.

Taste
Predominantly characterized by dark fruit, including forest berries, blackberries, and spices, with underlying, red-fruited notes, accompanied by a robust acidity inherent to this grape variety.

Other
In the vineyard, Blaufrankisch exhibits early bud break, late ripening, and generous yields. Its full maturation requires a warm environment, elucidating its prevalence in wine regions proximate to the heat of the Pannonian Plain in Central Europe.
