Blaufränkisch is a red wine grape commonly found in Germany, Austria and Hungary. Wines made using Blaufränkisch are often very fruit-forward, but also contain a dark, spicy, peppery dimension too, which makes them both brooding and unique. It’s a wine which lends itself perfectly to hearty stews and game dishes.
