Who doesn\u2019t love a good Blaufr\u00e4nkisch? We\u2019ve really come to enjoy Blaufr\u00e4nkisch lately. Such a fun, easy drinking wine that seems to defy definition. For those unfamiliar, Blaufr\u00e4nkisch is a black-skinned red grape; the second most popular variety in Austria. In some regions it is known as Lemberger or Franconia.<\/p>\n

Long thought to be identical to Pinot Noir, recent DNA testing has revealed that, though related, Blaufr\u00e4nkisch is a separate variety; one that we find less pretentious and a much better bang for your buck!<\/p>\n

The Schreiner Blaufr\u00e4nkisch 2021 is a fantastic example of what this grape can deliver. We secured this 1L bottle from our local shop, @beyondthefigwine, where it retails for $18. (As club members, we paid even less!) As Tuesday evening dinner came together; a casual meal of Sweet Korean BBQ Steaks (from the @sprouts butcher case), rice, and a pickled cucumber salad, we reached for this bottle.<\/p>\n

Superb value for a fun, weeknight wine. Inky garnet color. Blackberry, black cherry, plum, and baking spice on the nose. Flavors of ripe blackberry, bramble, black cherry, boysenberry, and plum, with cedar, clove and other baking spices, and hints of leather and cigar. Full body with soft tannins and balanced acidity. Don\u2019t let the low price, 1-liter size and the breakaway screw cap fool you. This a serious wine with a lot going on. Complexity beyond its price point!<\/p>\n
