Blaufränkisch Tasting

25 Mar 2021 – Press

“As for the end result, well it seems that the vineyards of Burgenland have overtaken us on the outside. It so happened that our colleague Tamás Jakab (a thousand grateful thanks for that!) asked the Austrian producers if they fancied joining a Kékfrankos tasting, and 55 Austrian Blaufränkisch arrived immediately. And the lesson to be learnt? It is easy to recognize the Austrian Blaufränkisch by its perfect maturity, vibrant acidity and admirable balance, meaning that although there are lovely Hungarian Kékfrankos wines, the average quality of the Austrians’ wines is still higher and their top wines really stand out, even internationally.
