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 grapes are able to approach. Other distinctive qualities are an appealing tannin level, an inspiring acidity and the noticable influence of the soil on the overall appearance. Blaufränkisch wines are famous for their drinkability which they are able to prove at many opportunities.

Native of the Burgenland like the hare. Hares are of course just as common outside the Burgenland but we do have lots of them. Especially the youngs hide still between the plants where they are almost perfectly disguised. And even better, juicy herbs almost grow into their mouths. The juicier the herbs, the less interesting the young vines are for them which then benefits the winegrowers. We do like that!
