'Puszta Libre!'

Natural Red Wine

Claus Preisinger became a winemaker at a younger age than most. He was born in 1980 and made his first wine when he was just twenty years old. Taught to farm by his father, this young and confident vigneron adheres to more traditional techniques such as using hand tractors and hard harvesting in his work.

After completing his training at Klosterneuburg Weinbauinstitut, he returned to his hometown of Gols, located in the eastern region of Burgenland and took over his parents vineyard. The 19 hectares of vineyards are divided into 64 plots and scattered throughout the Pannonian Plains making the work harder but yielding a greater variety of grape palette and terroir.  

Winemaking employs natural yeasts, no temperature control, no additions and storage in a combination of vessels to avoid excessive barrel character. 

Tasting Notes:

A punchy blend of Zweigelt and St.Laurent. Light on its feet, nearly glittering, with notes of ruby-red currants, tart blackberries and just a touch of spice. Serve chilled. Hasta la Puszta baby!
