Weingut Schnaitmann
Steinwiege Lemberger
The time has come to think of Blaufränkisch (a.k.a. Lemberger) as the poor man's Beaujolais.
This took a while to open up... but with a little patience, man, one reaps rewards. Dark brambly fruit, light-bodied, but still a brooding wine, with supple, fine tannins. Had this chilled. Rainer Schnaitmann runs his cozy winery in a suburb near Stuttgart, where he serenades his barrels to Mozart, in the glow of candlelight. Lovely wine.

My favorite unusual wine to suggest to Malbec drinkers. Easy fruit on the fruit, smoke on the back end.
