Blaufränkisch 2008, dry
Blaufränkisch is a very old and traditional Austrian red wine variety and one of the most precious
vines 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 dry Blaufränkisch 2008 gleams in a beatuful red color and shows
violet-blue reflexions. The pronounced fruity bouquet reminds on dark wild berries and goes harmonically
with its tender-tart aromatic flavour. It is not round, very palatable to drink and thus an ideal
companion at the table for a wide range of dishes.
Drinking suggestions: Reaches its optimum 1-2 years after the harvest. Can be kept for 4-5 years.
Serve at 12-13° C (53-56 F).
