WEINGUT HEINRICH
In 2009, we decided to focus completely on red wine, and our resolution was our prime single vineyards, our home town, where we work and live, as well as our region.
Approximately 80 percent of our vineyards are planted with the indigenous Blaufränkisch, the region's native variety, with both individuality and great potential. We produce five styles from select single vineyard sites of our regionally typical variety, that range from from elegant and mineral-like to the rich and intensive.
The remaining twenty percent is planted with international classic varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, as well as Zweigelt vines. Our treasured and personal favourite is an old block of Pinot Noir, that my grandparents once cultivated
Our motto is "less is more". A handful of grape varieties, environmentally conscious cultivation, hand-picked grapes, wild yeast fermentation. These are the main ingredients from which we produces wines of uncompromising quality in the bottle. Quality that is acknowledged.
Our premium wines terra o., elegy and Cupido regularly wine international trophies. Our top terra o. is a blend of Blaufränkisch, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah is highly regarded for its depth and spice, coupled with pronounced fruit characters. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot provide complex aromas in our "elegy" wine. Our flagship "Cupido" wine is a single-varietal Blaufränkisch, which displays dark fruit characters, smoky spice notes, elegant minerality and supple, silky tannins. International wine critics and experts are always impressed by our wines. Please find a list of our awards and ratings here.
