Carnuntum

Carnuntum Blaufränkisch is the structured, peppery face of Austria's flagship red, grown just east of Vienna between the Danube and the Pannonian plain. Warm days and cooling night winds off the river ripen dark-berry fruit while holding on to bright acidity, and the region's limestone and gravel ridges — above all the celebrated Spitzerberg — give wines a firm, savoury, black-pepper spine built for the table.
