Wine Description
The Ried Reisbühl is one of the finest Blaufränkisch vineyards on the Leithaberg. Its sheltered exposure creates a very warm, unique microclimate. The resulting temperatures promote perfect grape ripening. The highly calcareous brown earth soil, with inclusions of crystalline primary rock, lends the Blaufränkisch tension, complexity, and an impressive spiciness. Traditional maceration and extended aging in wooden barrels bring out the distinct character and elegance of the Ried Reisbühl.
Tasting Notes
A dark cherry jam with subtle spicy notes, black berry fruit with hints of fine wood, thyme, a touch of herbs and nougat, salty-mineral nuances; tightly structured, precise, powerful, and juicy with tremendous length; great aging potential.
Food Pairing
Pairs perfectly with well-done roast beef, steaks, braised meats, and game dishes.

Vineyard
Vineyard Site
The Reisbühl vineyard lies between the villages of Kleinhöflein and Großhöflein and borders the Setz vineyard to the north. This vineyard, covering just eight hectares, was first documented in the 1570 land register. The wind protection provided by the Leithaberg Forest and the southeastern exposure create a warm microclimate and ideal conditions for Blaufränkisch. The Ried Reisbühl is characterized by calcareous brown earth soil with inclusions of crystalline primary rock.
