Blaufrankisch is a very important varietal in Austria, but is almost unknown in California. At Ritchie Creek Vineyard they produce a small lot of Blaufrankisch from a few rows in their lower vineyard. The wine from these grapes is characterized by a unique spiciness and forward fruit that is almost recklessly exuberant. The adventurous wine lover will find the Blaufrankisch experience uniquely rewarding.
