The 2008 Birgit Braunstein Blaufränkisch Heide from Burgenland is a captivating red wine that showcases the superb character of this varietal. This medium-bodied wine delights the palate with its vibrant acidity, which brings a refreshing brightness to every sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering lush flavors of dark berries, plum, and subtle spice notes that create a well-rounded profile. Tannins are notable yet smooth, providing structure without overpowering the elegant fruit. As a dry wine, it pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for any occasion. With its rich heritage from the Burgenland region, this Blaufränkisch is a delightful expression of its terroir and demonstrates the artistry of 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.
