The Melbourne Review
Much easier to drink than it is to say, Blaufränkisch (pronounced blouw-frank-ish) is one of Austria’s three indigenous varieties and expresses similar wonders as Gamay, so much so that it was once mistaken for Gamay, which you might recall from the previous note, was once mistaken for Pinot Noir. Another deliciously perfumed, medium-bodied beauty, at its best Blaufränkisch makes a complex wine offering cherries and red berries, spiciness, pepper and a lovely savouriness. Brigitte and Gerhard Pittnauer of the Burgenland region of Austria, produce a number of excellent single-vineyard Blaufränkisch from their biodynamic estate. Fruit for this wine comes off their best Blaufränkisch site, ‘Ungerberg’. The wine is free of additions, including sulphur. The wine is fresh and vibrant on the nose and tastes of earth, minerals, violets, berries and spice. Featuring a refreshing line of acidity, the palate is medium bodied and very attractive.
