Blaufränkisch 2006, dry
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 dry Blaufränkisch 2006 shimmers in a beautiful 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 too heavy and very palatable to drink. This
Blaufränkisch is an ideal companion at the table for a wide range of dishes
