Central Europe's great red — dark berries, spice and vibrant freshness.
Blaufränkisch is Austria's most important quality red and is widely grown across Central Europe under different names. It combines dark berry fruit and peppery spice with fresh acidity and fine tannins. Top wines from Burgenland's limestone and schist soils are elegant, mineral and age-worthy.
