2017 Birgit Braunstein Blaufrankisch Wine from Leithaberg Region

Discover Birgit Braunstein’s Blaufrankisch Leithaberg DAC 2017—a mineral-forward red wine crafted to highlight Austria’s unique terroir. Grown in Leithaberg’s prized vineyards where ancient soils meet shell limestone deposits, this organic offering combines depth from mature vines with finesse shaped by its distinctive environment. A favorite among top sommeliers globally for its harmonious balance of power and grace, it delivers an experience rooted in authenticity while catering to modern preferences for ethical wines.

This Blaufrankisch bursts with intense blackberry and red currant flavors upfront before revealing layers of toasted nougat complexity mid-palate. The finish surprises with a bright lemon zest touch—a testament to its lively acidity—while polished tannins ensure smoothness without heaviness. Unlike many bold reds, its structured elegance pairs beautifully with rich dishes yet remains versatile enough for solo sipping or food pairing experimentation.

Certified organic by Austrian standards and free from animal-derived additives for vegan compliance, this bottle aligns perfectly with conscious consumers who demand quality without compromise. With aging potential amplified by its balanced backbone of acidity and minerality, it offers exceptional value for collectors or those seeking an authentic DAC-designated expression of Leithaberg’s signature terroir-driven style.
