Blaufränkisch 2004, halbtrocken
Blaufränkisch is a very old traditional Austrian red wine variety and one of the most precious we
have. Its main characteristic lies in the pronounced fruitiness which very few other varieties are able
to approach. Other distinctive qualities are an appealing tannin level, an inspiring acidity and the
noticable effect of the soil on the overall appearance. Blaufränkisch wines are famous for their
drinkability which they are able to prove at many opportunities.
Tasting notes: Our semi dry Blaufränkisch 2004 shows a deep red colour. The fruity
impression from the bouquet is reinforced on the palate. Its unobtrusive sweetness almost completely
covers the tender-tart tannins and the wine is astoundingly mild, harmonic and pleasant to the taste.
This Blaufränkisch is an ideal wine for afternoon and evening hours and on almost every
occasion.
