A taut red with black-pepper aromatics and firm acidity.
The leading red grape of eastern Austria, known as Kékfrankos in Hungary and Lemberger in Germany, with a long history across central Europe; it is also one parent of Zweigelt. Black-fruit aromas carry a peppery spice, and clear acidity keeps the wine taut despite its depth of colour. It is regarded as a variety that shows best in cool climates. In Japan it is grown in Hokkaido, and it suits peppery meat dishes and richer game.
Notes on aroma and taste describe general tendencies for this grape, not claims about any particular wine — the actual character depends on the producer and how it is made.
