Vineyard Site
We cultivate our oldest 60-year-old Blaufränkisch in this small vineyard located in the Kleinhöflein district of Eisenstadt. For decades, this wine has embodied the top quality of our winery’s red wines and is only vinified in exceptional years. Sloping towards the south, this old, deeply rooted vineyard enjoys the sun from morning to night. An ideal prerequisite for concentrated Blaufränkisch wines full of character.
