Claus Preisinger - Sunny Cide Up 2022 is an exceptionally fresh and creative drink that combines elements of PET-NAT (natural sparkling wine) and cider. The result is a light, juicy and refreshing drink that brings joyful summer bubbles. This unique combination is made from a blend of apples, quince and the Grüner Veltliner grape variety.
Production process:
Sunny Cide Up 2022 is a blend of:
- sour apples, which provide the basic character of the cider with refreshing acidity.
- quince, which adds a specific aromaticity and sweet-bitter fruitiness to the drink, which mixes perfectly with the malic acid.
- Grüner Veltliner, which is a classic Austrian variety known for its spicy, peppery flavor and fresh acidity, which perfectly complements the fruit elements.
Preisinger uses the PET-NAT method in this drink, which stands for "Pétillant Naturel" (naturally sparkling). This is a traditional method of making sparkling wines, where fermentation takes place naturally in the bottle, without the addition of artificial sugar or yeast, which ensures fine, natural bubbles.

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.
