Blaufränkisch 2005, 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 2005 gleams in a beautiful red-violet colour. The
bouquet is fruity and reminiscent of dark wild berries. Its taste combines very decent sweetness and
tender-tart tannins to a exceptionally mild and harmonic enseble that pleases every palate. This
Blaufränkisch is an ideal wine for afternoon and evening hours and on almost every occasion.
