About

Blauer Portugieser is of a light, slightly “meaty” ruby-red colour, mild, with low alcohol content and acidity; it ages quickly. Its rarely on offer as a varietals’ wine, although the young wine is quite pleasant, albeit unprepossessing; usually it is blended with other, more aromatic wines, for example, to form delightful rosé wines and, of course, Cvicek.
