Question: Is there a difference between wines made from Blaufrankisch and Kekfrankos?
Answer: Not really as they are the same grape. They use the name Blaufrankisch in Austria, Kekfrankos in Hungary, and Lemberger in Germany. There are terroir differences between the growing regions to explore but both wines have good fresh acidity, tannins, and spicy notes. They are often used in blends rather than as a single variety. For example Kekfrankos has an increasing role in the well known blend of Egri Bikaver (Bull’s Blood), replacing the Kadarka grape. Blaufrankisch is really making a name for itself in Austria especially in Burgenland. I suggest you do a comparative wine tasting of both grapes to learn more.
