Blaufränkisch is not only found in Austria. But here, especially in the wine-growing regions of Burgenland and Carnuntum in Lower Austria, it is considered a noble red wine variety with great future potential.

In the wein.plus encyclopaedia, Norbert Tischelmayer describes the characteristics of Blaufränkisch like this:

The late-ripening vine is susceptible to powdery and downy mildew as well as stem rot. It requires a relatively warm climate and tends to flower in cool weather coulure. The variety produces finely acidic, tannic red wines with a ruby-red colour and diverse aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, herbs and mint. These have excellent storage potential and are also eminently suitable for barrique ageing.
