Blauburger is a red wine grape variety that is grown a little in Austria and Hungary.

History

Blauburger is a cross between Blauer Portugieser and Blaufränkisch. It was created in 1923 by Dr. Fritz Zweigelt at the Federal Institute for Viticulture and Pomology at Klosterneuburg, Austria.

Distribution and wines

In 1999 there were 880ha of Blauburger grown in Austria. It is also a permitted variety for Egri Bikavér (Bull's Blood) in Hungary. It gives wines of intense colour, and some berry fruit on the palate, but with not much bouquet or tannin. It is mostly used for blending.

Vine and Viticulture

Blauburger gives good yields and is particularly resistant to Botrytis cinerea, but is susceptible to mildew.
