They are named Zweigelt, Blaufr\u00e4nkisch and Saint Laurent. I usually compare Saint-Laurent to Pinot Noir, but following several discussions with friends and tastings, some have compared Blaufr\u00e4nkisch to Pinot Noir. So, is Blaufr\u00e4nkisch Pinot Noir? That&#8217;s a definite no but let&#8217;s find out why! We&#8217;ve got Blaufr\u00e4nkisch, famous for making red wines that are medium to full-bodied, with quite a bit of tannin and acidity. Then, there&#8217;s Pinot Noir, which makes lighter to medium-bodied red wines. They have less tannin, more acidity, and a bit of a lighter taste. Table of contents When Blaufr\u00e4nkisch used to be Pinot Noir&#8230; A beginner&#8217;s guide to Blaufr\u00e4nkisch A beginner&#8217;s guide to Pinot Noir No, Blaufr\u00e4nkisch is not Pinot Noir : the differences When Blaufr\u00e4nkisch used to be Pinot Noir&#8230; For a long time, it was believed that Blaufr\u00e4nkisch was genetically identical to Pinot Noir (and even Gamay noir). This actually explains its nicknames Borgogna and Gam\u00e9 in Croatia and Bulgaria. However, thanks to DNA testing, in 2016, researchers finally found its parents! We now know that Blaufr\u00e4nkisch is a crossing between Gouais Blanc (nicknamed the vine Casanova, due to its numerous descendants) and an old Slovene grape variety, Blaue Zimmettraube. No offense to the Austrians, Blaufr\u00e4nkisch is therefore a Slovenian grape variety. A beginner&#8217;s guide to Blaufr\u00e4nkisch Blaufr\u00e4nkisch, a leading variety in Austria, is the same grape as Hungary&#8217;s K\u00e9kfranco and Germany&#8217;s Lemberger. This late-ripening grape requires warm, thick soils similar to Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux, and its thick skin makes it resistant to diseases and rot. Like Riesling, Blaufr\u00e4nkisch is highly influenced by the soil it grows in, producing different wine styles depending on whether it is grown in the limestone of Leithaberg or the rich deep soils of Mittelburgenland. Wines from Leithaberg are known for their elegance, while those from Mittelburgenland are full-bodied and spicy. Blaufr\u00e4nkisch wines from S\u00fcdburgenland are refined, while those from Carnuntum, which has a cooler climate, exhibit red fruit aromas. In the past, Blaufr\u00e4nkisch wines were heavily oaked and concentrated, similar to Bordeaux wines. However, modern consumers prefer more drinkable wines that are balanced and less oaky. As a result, Blaufr\u00e4nkisch wines are now typically vinified simply and rounded out with aging in large casks, resulting in fruity wines with aging potential. These wines usually feature black fruit aromas and bold flavors. Want to know more? Check out my full beginner&#8217;s guide to Blaufr\u00e4nkisch. A beginner&#8217;s guide to Pinot Noir Unlike Blaufr\u00e4nkisch, Pinot Noir is from Burgundy in France. It is now grown in many parts of the world. Pinot Noir produces light to medium bodied wines, with high acidity and low tannins, which makes it very approachable and easy to drink. It has flavours of red cherry, raspberry, strawberry with notes of earth and smoke. It is usually unoaked, but when it is, it brings vanilla and spice aromas. Pinot Noir can age very well but it depends on the winemaking style. Usually, Pinot Noir is best consumed with five to seven years of age. No, Blaufr\u00e4nkisch is not Pinot Noir : the differences So, on the one hand, we have Blaufr\u00e4nkisch, known for producing medium to full-bodied red wines with moderate to high tannins and acidity. On the other hand, we have Pinot Noir, known for producing light to medium-bodied red wines with low to medium tannins and high acidity. See the difference in these two profiles? So, no, Blaufr\u00e4nkisch is definitely not Pinot Noir!"}
