Variety: 100% Blaufränkisch
Region: Burgenland
Country: Austria
Year: 2014
Price: €9
Winery Review: Our Blaufränkisch shows deep red with a violet rim. In the nose it shows incredibly fine fruit which remembers of blackberries together with fine spiciness. On the palate the wine shows again deep and spicy berry fruit which is backed up by fine acidity and shows a mineral finish. An elegant, good structured wine with good ageing potential.

My Review: The nose is very fruity with hints of black fruit specifically blackberries and plum. The wine is very fruit dominate. Black fruit come through on the palate with a bit of spice. I also get hints of licorice. The wine is also very hot and seems unbalanced. The finish is short. I have been excited to try this variety for a while but I don’t think this is the best entry into this grape. It’s not discouraging though as I am hopeful that I can find a good one.
