Blaufränkisch 2008, halbtrocken (semi 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 semi dry Blaufränkisch 2008 gleams in a beautiful dark red. The bouquet
is fruity and reminiscent of woodland strawberries. In its taste the wine combines very decent sweetness

Blaufränkisch is an ideal wine for afternoon and evening hours and on almost every occasion.
