Blaufränkisch from Mittelburgenland's heavy loam soils delivers intense cherry and plum aromas with mineral spice complexity. Beautifully balanced acidity and pleasant tannins create a wine that's a joy to drink young, yet sophisticated enough for the table. Pair with fine steaks, game dishes, deep-flavoured casseroles, spare ribs, and roast—these broad-shouldered wines have the structure and elegance to match bold, flavourful fare. Silvia Heinrich's sustainable approach and selective hand-harvesting ensure each bottle captures the distinctive character of this signature Austrian variety.

About the Producer

Weingut Silvia Heinrich is based in Burgenland, very close to the Hungarian border and whilst she grows a bit of Merlot and a bit of Pinot Noir, by far and away her main production is Blaufrankisch. She has old vines and several different vineyards on different soils and makes some absolutely lovely wines. The family-run estate focuses on high-quality Blaufränkisch. Silvia continues the tradition with passion and a modern approach. The sunny, dry climate of Mittelburgenland and sustainable viticulture shape the elegant, characterful wines.

Manual work, thoughtful planting and a deep respect for soil life lie at the heart of Weingut Silvia Heinrich , with each vineyard tended and harvested selectively by hand. For the Heinrich family, sustainability is not a passing trend but a long-standing commitment, rooted in the belief that true quality begins in the vineyard. They see it as their responsibility to preserve a living landscape that can be passed on intact to future generations.
