Blaufränkisch is one of the many offspring of Gouais Blanc, an old grape variety that was once widespread throughout Europe. Now widely cultivated in Austria, the historical distribution of Blaufränkisch includes Germany (under the name Limberger), Hungary (Kékfrankos) and Croatia (Borgonja), so much so that its birthplace is located at the crossroads of these regions. . Present sporadically in Switzerland, this late grape variety is susceptible to fungal diseases and produces structured wines with intense colors, with sustained acidity.
