Kpo says: So pleasant and easy drinking fruity red wine! Slightly sweet. |
The wine is created from one of the most famous Central European grape variety- Blaufrankisch, grown in in Transcarpathia. It is a bright ruby wine with a pronounced fruity character. The aroma is complex, with tones of violet, black currant, cherry, blackberry and light shades of spices. The taste of the wine is mild, with delicate tannins, notes of red fruit, dark berries and ripe plums, which ends with a long juicy aftertaste.
Blaufrankisch is known as Kekfrankos in Hungary, it is one of the most widely planted red grape variety in the then Austria-Hungary, you can find it from the modern day Czech Republic all the way to modern day Western Ukraine. In Germany it is also known as Lemberger and is widely planted in up-state New York in the Finger lakes wine region. This wine is a semi-dry red wine, meaning that is soft, light and easy drinking with a pleasant finish, best to enjoy slightly chilled.
