Call it what you like, Lemberger or Blaufraenkisch is a grape with potential in the Adelaide Hills

摘要

Lemberger, or Blaufraenkisch as it is known in its native Austria, is a red winegrape that is grown across Central Europe. It is also grown in significant amounts in Germany and Hungary, and in smaller amounts in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia. The high regard in which this grape is held in Eastern Europe has led to it being described as "the Pinot Noir of the East". According to British wine journalist Jancis Robinson, the variety's popularity and extensive acreage denote it as "the quintessential middle-European red winegrape".
