Blaufränkisch grape

Austria's premier red grape, known as Lemberger in Germany and Kékfrankos in Hungary. Produces medium to full-bodied wines with dark cherry, spice, and a refreshing acidity reminiscent of Pinot Noir.

A grape's character depends heavily on soil, climate, clones and winemaking. The notes below offer a general profile; an individual bottle remains the best way to discover a producer's house style.
