Georg Preisinger, Blaufrankisch, Heideboden, 2020, Burgenland, Austria
Producer Profile
Viticulture has been the focus of the Preisinger family for five generations. What began in 1851 as mixed farming with animal husbandry has developed over generations into today’s winery.
5th Generation Georg Preisinger, put it quite simply in and of itself: “You can taste the origin of good wine. The love for it, too.”
The rocket is a carefully chosen symbol for their wines. It stands for the journey through time that becomes possible through the enjoyment of strong-charactered wines: The immersion into a past year, the taste structure of the past handed down through time to the present. Sun, coolness, rain, dryness. But also, the overcoming of distances – which good wine masters so well. By the way, you can experience a journey through time of the special kind on board our top wines: with up to 47-year-old vines that encompass some of the oldest vegetative memories of the vineyards of Gols.
Viticulture
100% Blaufrankisch, sourced from vineyards planted in 1982 on permeable black earth gravel soil, sandy loam but lime free. Hand-picked in small boxes, pre-selection in the vineyard and then again once it reaches the winery.
Winemaking
Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks and spontaneous fermentation in used barriques. Aged for 18 months in used French oak barrels.
Tasting Note
In the glass, it enchants with a dark ruby garnet colour and violet reflections. The nose reveals fine aromatics of nougat, fig, and dried plum. Fine tannins are accompanied by elegance and juiciness and ends with a minty finish.
Goes well with
The perfect accompaniment to game. If game is not your thing, then we suggest – pizza/quiche with onion and bacon, pasta alla carbonara or risotto with porcini mushrooms.
Cellaring
3 to 10 years.
