Blauer Portugieser

Blauer Portugieser, also known as Blue Portuguese, is a red wine grape that is primarily grown in Central Europe. It is widely cultivated in countries such as Austria, Germany, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. This grape variety is known for its versatility and adaptability to different climates and soil types. It thrives in cooler regions and is often used to produce light and fruity red wines. Blauer Portugieser wines are typically low in tannins and have a vibrant acidity, making them easy to drink and enjoy. The flavors of Blauer Portugieser wines can vary depending on the region and winemaking techniques. In general, they are characterized by their red fruit aromas, such as cherries and raspberries, with hints of spice and floral notes. Some producers also age the wines in oak barrels, adding complexity and subtle vanilla or chocolate flavors. Blauer Portugieser is not such a fashionable grape these days, as it's very fruit dominant and not much else. Saying that, in the right hands of a natural wine producer giving it love and attention, it can really shine in the right moments
