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

The ancient Austrian wine region of Burgenland has been home to the country's red wine industry for centuries, and historically, this region was considered enormously important under the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, as its fine red wines were the toast of many aristocratic banquets and formal occasions. Unlike the rest of Austria, Burgenland receives an impressive amount of sunshine, meaning vintners can confidently grow their Pinot Noir, Zwiegelt and Blaufrankisch grapes to full ripeness, and rely on them expressing much of their beautiful terroir in the bottle. The region's closeness to some enormous Austrian lakes also means that the vineyards can remain moist and well hydrated, again resulting in the region's flavorful and characterful red wines which remain popular with those seeking something fine and unique to this day.

Country: Austria

Austria is a fascinating country when it comes to wine production, and with a wine culture that stretches back over four thousand years, it is one of the oldest viticultural centers in the world. Today, it is the Grüner Veltliner varietal grape which is the most widely grown and processed, producing elegant dry white wines, and very flavorful and aromatic sweet wines enjoyed to a great extent by local communities, and which are beginning to receive the recognition they deserve by the global wine market. Austria's eastern flatlands benefit from fertile and mineral rich soils, fed by the great river Danube, as well as the long hot summers the country enjoys with low precipitation. Today, over fifty thousand hectares of Austrian land is under vine, and even within the city limits of Vienna, high quality wine is produced and enjoyed.
