Blaufränkisch is the official name for the variety of wine grape that is used to produce dry, red wines which are typically low in tannin and may exhibit a pronounced spicy character. The grape is grown across Central Europe, including Austria and Germany (where it is known as Lemberger, or Blauer Limberger). In Hungary the grape is called kékfrankos and is grown in a number of wine regions including Sopron, Villány, Szekszárd and Eger (where it is a major ingredient in the famous red wine blend known as Egri Bikavér or Bull's Blood having largely replaced the Kadarka grape). The German name points to its origin on the Danube as it came from the principality Limberg in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, what is now Slovenia.
