At americanwine.club, we proudly feature Weis Vineyards Blaufränkisch 2023. The vineyards sit on the slopes around Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes. As a result, this wine shows the freshness and structure typical of a cool climate red. Blaufränkisch, also known as Lemberger, continues to gain attention in the region. Therefore, it stands out as one of the most expressive and food friendly red varieties.
On the nose, this Finger Lakes Blaufränkisch shows black pepper, cedar, and dried herbs. In addition, the aromas feel savory and precise. On the palate, bright red fruit leads the way. Flavours of sour cherry, cranberry, and red currant come through clearly. At the same time, fresh acidity adds lift and energy. A subtle earthy spice follows and adds complexity. The body remains light, yet the wine shows depth and detail. Fine tannins create a smooth texture and carry the wine to a clean finish.
Hans Peter Weis crafts this wine with a focus on clarity and balance. He brings a Central European background to his work in the Finger Lakes. As a result, the wine reflects both origin and precision. The grapes come from sustainably farmed vineyards above Keuka Lake. The team harvests them by hand and follows a minimal intervention approach. Therefore, the wine keeps its natural character and structure.
This Finger Lakes Blaufränkisch pairs well with black pepper steak, grilled sausages, and roasted vegetables. In addition, it works with schnitzel, poultry, and mushroom dishes. Serve slightly chilled at 14 to 16 degrees Celsius to highlight freshness and aromatics.
Blaufränkisch from the Finger Lakes remains under the radar (we’re here to change that). However, it offers strong quality and character. This bottle shows that potential with clarity and balance. It is available exclusively through americanwine.club. Secure your bottle to experience a distinctive cool climate red wine.
