Weninger 2023 Hochäcker Blaufrankisch 750ml

The 2023 Hochäcker Blaufränkisch from Weninger offers a bright, energetic expression of this classic Central European variety. Aromas of sour cherry, blackberry, and wild blueberry are layered with notes of violet, cracked pepper, and a subtle earthy minerality. The palate is medium-bodied and finely structured, with vibrant acidity carrying flavors of red and dark berries, plum skin, and savory herbs. Tannins are supple yet present, providing definition without heaviness, while a stony, spice-tinged finish adds freshness and persistence. Elegant and food-friendly, this Blaufränkisch pairs beautifully with grilled pork, roast duck, mushroom dishes, and charcuterie.
