DESCRIPTION
It is a robust, fruity, dark red wine. It offers a wide range of sensations reminiscent of black berries. The wine’s taste is firm and slightly zesty. Among the red varieties, it comes on top in terms of the content of the beneficial substance resveratrol and is therefore increasingly sought after. The Blaufränkisch is served with lamb, grilled meat or venison.
