Description
Lemberger is one of those grapes that just loves the Finger Lakes. And we love it back! No matter what you call it Lemberger (aka Blaufränkisch) is a perfect medium bodied red to pair with most meats and slightly spicy dishes. Our Lembergers always present the most jewel-like magenta in the goblet; bright, beautiful, and eye-catching. The aroma is quite heady, an enchanting mix of blueberry pie, açai, clotted cream, and pipe tobacco. On the palate violets, brambleberries, white pepper, and poached plums dance a jig and linger, leaving you thinking about the next glass.

Varietal
Lemberger
Lemberger, also known as Blaufränkisch, is a red grape variety that hails from Central Europe, particularly Austria and Hungary. The grape produces deeply colored wines with rich flavors and notable acidity, making them excellent for aging. Lemberger wines are celebrated for their dark fruit profiles, featuring blackberry, cherry, and plum, often complemented by spicy and peppery notes. What sets Lemberger apart is its balance of fruitiness and acidity, along with a characteristic minerality, which allows it to pair well with a variety of foods, from hearty meats to spicy dishes. In Germany, where it is also grown, the grape is called Lemberger, while in Austria, it goes by Blaufränkisch. Despite the different names, the grape consistently produces robust, full-bodied wines that reflect the unique terroir of their growing regions, offering wine enthusiasts a distinctive and flavorful experience.
