Released only now, Georg Prieler’s 2013 Blaufränkisch Ried Marienthal Oggau am Neusiedlersee displays a dark and matured ruby color with a garnet shimmering rim. The nose is pure and matured, quite open but elegant and refined, with ripe red and dark fruit aromas intertwined with notes of pepper, black tea, dried flowers, iodine, sweet herbs and red jelly fruits. Macerated and fermented for 21 days (so about five days longer than today) and aged in 500-liter barrels for 23 months (so no racking to a large oak casks after eight months like in 2017), this is a full-bodied, elegant and silky-textured Blaufränkisch with deep, round, intense and sustainable fruit, fine and crunchy tannins and vital and salty acidity that makes this a very digestible red wine from the famous limestone soils of the Ried Marienthal, which connects the communes of Oggau with Rust. It is the terroir and the grape, but in particular the bottle age, that make Blaufränkisch a great red wine. This is one of them. Tasted in May 2021. ... More details

Winery
The name of today’s Ried Marienthal can be traced back to 1881 and it is one of the oldest and most famous sites on Lake Neusiedl. The vineyard was evidently on everyone’s lips even earlier. In the year 1476, it was called “Marchteil” and stems from the Old High German term “Mark”, which means “border”. Locals call the approximately 10.3 hectare vineyard “Moaritoal” in our dialect. Marienthal is legendary for its Blaufränkisch and the Prielers have had Blaufränkisch vines in this vineyard for three decades, right there where the limestone base descends gently towards Oggau. Georg’s father had to replant their parcel in this vineyard and because you can’t truly express the potential of such a site with young vines, the family waited until 2011 to produce a single-vineyard Blaufränkisch Marienthal.

Region: Burgenland

Austria's wine industry has long been based around the country's excellent white wines, the grapes of which grow in abundance across the vineyards in the lowlands, and in the hilly regions around the nation's capital of Vienna. However, Austria also has a strong, if small, red wine industry, based on the superb Pinot Noir, Zwiegelt and Blaufrankisch grapes which flourish in the sun-drenched vineyards in Burgenland, in the very east of the country and close to the Hungarian border. Here, the massive Austrian lakes provide plenty of moisture for the grapes, and the fine and sunny climate help the fruit reach full ripeness each year, and allow the grapes to express much of their wonderful terroir. The characterful and flavorful red wines of Burgenland have been popular for centuries, and remain an intriguing aspect of Austrian wine to this day.

Country: Austria

All over the flat parts of the country in eastern Austria, Grüner Veltliner grapevines can be found growing to full ripeness under the blazing summer sunshine the country enjoys. For over four thousand years, Austria has been an important location for wine production, with a strong sense of tradition driving the modern wine industry to this day. Now, the country has over fifty thousand hectares under vine, and wineries are beginning to experiment more and more with imported grape varietals such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, alongside the traditional vines associated with the country. Austria is most commonly known for their excellent dry white wines, which are extremely elegant and generally capable of expressing their fine terroir, making it a fascinating country to explore from a wine drinker's perspective.
