Lemberger (aka Blaufränkisch in Austria) came to Washington via Canadian vineyards in the 1940s and played an important part in the state’s early wine history. While “serious” Lemberger is possible (they do it all the time in Austria!), in Washington it made it’s mark with ruby-colored, juicy/fruity, wine to use in blends for casual sipping. Today it’s been overtaken by French varietals, but grown with care and made simply, it still gives a deliciously fruit-filled red to enjoy by the fire in winter and with a light chill in summer.

Kiona was the first winery to bottle a varietal labeled Lemberger in 1980 and still makes some of the best. It’s full of ripe black fruit with accents of earth, licorice and spice that turns savory on the soft, supple, finish. Think “exotic Beaujolais” and you’ll be on the right track.

"Mulberries, blueberries, violets, cinnamon and vanilla on the nose, with some olive undertones. Fruity and spicy with medium to full body, soft tannins and a creamy finish."
