Heideboden 2023 is a juicy, energetic red from Burgenland, based on a typical mix of Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch and Merlot. The wine is produced by spontaneous fermentation and is partially matured in oak barrels, which gives it a light structure and a slightly spicy frame, without losing its drinkability. The aroma and taste reveal red and darker fruits - cherries, raspberries, blackberries and plums - complemented by fine peppery spices and a slightly earthy, natural tone. The expression is juicy, lively and relatively straightforward, with fine tannins and fresh acidity that keep the wine in tension and make it very drinkable. Overall, this is an "everyday" Preisinger at its best - a clean, uncomplicated, yet sufficiently characterful red that is almost drinkable on its own.

Weingut Claus Preisinger is located in the village of Gols on Lake Neusiedlersee in Burgenland. Claus originally started making wine with his father as a hobby, which grew into his life's work. His first vintage was in 2000. Since then, he has expanded his father's 3 hectares to 19 hectares. His vineyards are located on 64 plots and are largely planted with varieties typical of Burgenland - Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent. Claus also works with the Grüner Veltliner and Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) varieties.

Claus' priority is, has been and always will be to produce wine that is clean, balanced and distinctive for its terroir. His winemaking methods are guided more by instinct than by a set formula. That is why he is constantly experimenting and developing. Claus was the first Austrian winemaker to experiment with orange wines made in Georgian amphorae. Since 2014, Claus has been a member of the Pannobile association, which represents Burgenland winemakers who share the same natural vision.

Claus has been a holder of biodynamic certification since 2009. He intervenes minimally in the wine in the cellar. He adds very little sulfur to the wines - only lightly during bottling and only when necessary.

Claus was our guest in December 2019, when we celebrated the opening of our wine bar HokusPokus winebar&tapas.
