Feiler Artinger Blaufränkisch Ried Ruster Umriss 2015
blaufrankisch
Schiefer Blaufränkisch Burgenland 2017
Austrian Blaufrankisch seems to be bottled mostly in Bordeaux bottles. That might be an indication of the wine style, so for my recent order (from Weinshop24) I rather looked for Burgundy shaped bottles – and in the case of this entry level red from Schiefer it worked out quite well I would say.
