The Salzl Blaufränkisch 2023 is a characterful, elegant red wine from Burgenland that bears the signature of the Salzl Seewinkelhof winery to perfection. It is made from 100% pure Blaufränkisch grapes - the grape variety that is considered the flagship of Austrian red wine. The grapes thrive on loess-like Tschernosem soils of sandy loam with a high gravel content, which ensures optimum drainage and mineral depth. This terroir in Seewinkel produces wines that are powerful, precise and elegant at the same time.


Vinification follows the classic method: traditional maceration in steel tanks at 30 °C with a maceration period of 14 days, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then matured in stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness and fruitiness. The result is an Austrian quality wine that shows the unmistakable fruit and flavour of Blaufränkisch in its pure, unadorned form.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Salzl Blaufränkisch 2023 is a radiant ruby-garnet colour with an almost black core and a delicate brightening of the rim. Warm fruity notes of blackberries, figs and chocolate apricot unfold on the nose, accompanied by hints of liquorice, black pepper, cloves, black tea and orange zest. On the palate, the wine is juicy, fleshy and dense, with plenty of ripe berry fruit, a powerful body and velvety tannins. The finish is characterised by fine steppe spice, black olives, orange jam, black tea, nougat and an elegant berry freshness. A dense, multi-faceted and harmonious Blaufränkisch that perfectly combines drinking pleasure and sophistication.

The Salzl Blaufränkisch 2023 is an ideal accompaniment to white meat such as veal or pork, but also to poultry with Mediterranean herbs, pasta with mushroom ragout or mild cheese. The optimum drinking temperature is 16-18 °C, and the wine can be drunk from 2025 to 2031, provided it is stored optimally. An Austrian quality wine that impresses with its juicy fruit, balance and elegant structure and impressively expresses the unmistakable character of the Seewinkel region.
