Meet Blaufränkisch, Austria’s red wine gem—and the chic parent grape of both Gamay and Zweigelt. 💫 Often called the ‘Pinot Noir of the East,’ this bold yet elegant varietal is all about balance. Expect a burst of dark berries, spice, and just a hint of earthiness—think black cherries with a dash of pepper. 🍒🌶️ Its bright acidity makes it food-friendly, pairing effortlessly with everything from grilled meats to your favorite charcuterie and definitely PIZZA! 🍕 I also must mention it’s fabulous chilled—perfect for transitioning into those crisp fall evenings. 🍂🍷 see my picks to stock up!
