Franchere "Failed Empires" Zweigelt Blaufrankisch
Franchere Wines is a boutique winery based in Oregon, founded by Mike Hinds, a queer winemaker with a passion for exploring wines made from grape varieties that are not typically associated with Oregon.
Failed Empires is a unique blend of Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch that showcases the versatility of these Austrian grape varieties when grown in the rich terroir of Oregon. In the glass, this wine reveals a deep garnet color with aromatic notes of dark cherry, plum, and a touch of peppery spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of red berries, blackcurrant, and a hint of earthiness, all balanced by smooth tannins and a lingering finish.
Sustainably produced, this wine is a reflection of both traditional European winemaking techniques and the innovative spirit of Oregon’s wine scene. Franchere Failed Empires Zweigelt Blaufrankisch pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from roasted meats and grilled vegetables to hearty stews. It’s a perfect choice for those who appreciate wines with character and a story to tell.
