kékfrankos
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.

Minimal intervention Kékfrankos: réka.koncz A Change of Heart 2019
A newcomer to the Hungarian wine scene. You can tell from the eye-catching design that it’s a low intervention wine – and it tastes like that indeed.

So cheap, will it be drinkable? Ostoros Egri Kékfrankos 2019
Just a bit above 1 Euro it’s by far the cheapest wine I bought in the last 10-15 years, and it’s not the worst. Actually it’s not bad at all, I kinda like it.
