Blaufränkisch

2006 Burgenland Blaufränkisch

The Peter Schandl Blaufränkisch from the 2006 vintage is a remarkable red wine hailing from the renowned Burgenland region of Austria. This wine is medium-bodied, offering a delightful balance that makes it an excellent choice for various occasions. The acidity is pronounced, providing a refreshing backbone that brightens the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing vibrant notes of dark berries, particularly black cherry and plum, which are complemented by subtle hints of spice. Tannins are notable yet smooth, adding structure without overwhelming the wine. This Blaufränkisch is bone dry, making it a versatile option to pair with a range of dishes, from roasted meats to rich pastas. It is a testament to the exceptional terroir of Burgenland, reflecting the region's unique characteristics and dedication to quality winemaking.

Austria may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of quality wine, but this slice of central Europe is home to crisp whites and elegant reds that are well worth seeking out. While many classic grapes are grown here, there are exceptional wines made from varieties you rarely see anywhere else, such as white Grüner Veltliner. Spicy and herbaceous, this wine combines notes of white pepper and asparagus with flint and apple. As for reds, the most planted is Zweigelt. This grape is a hybrid of two other local varietals: the spicy Blaufränkisch and light St. Laurent. It combines the best of both worlds with flavors of chocolate, black pepper and fresh raspberry.
