Blaufränkisch (Lemberger)

Blaufränkisch, also known as Lemberger in southern Germany, is the undisputed aristocrat of Central European red wine. Characterised by cool wild berry fruit, fine herbal spice, and vibrant acidity, it translates its soils with razor-sharp precision. The monumental, finely tannic single-vineyard wines from Moric impressively demonstrate just how much depth and mineral energy this grape variety possesses.

That Blaufränkisch also has a wonderfully light-hearted side alongside this depth is proven by modern, animating interpretations. At Clemens Krutzler, it shows itself in a classic, pure style, but also in a lively interplay with Welschriesling. This liaison with the white grape is also taken up by Vino Gross in Slovenia, bringing a wonderfully light-footed, red-white blend into the glass.
