Reserve Blaufränkisch
This offering is made to drink a toast to life. Absolutely honest, typically South Burgenland and grown on heavy, deep soils. The dark color, its expressiveness and aromas and flavors of cherries and berries make it a classic Blaufränkisch. Hearty and quaffable, it may be drunk already young with its pronounced fruity character. By the way, this is Krutzler’s best-selling wine!
