The soil of the Leithaberg vineyards consists of brown clay, ideal for Blaufränkisch. Clay retains water, ensuring the vines can find sufficient water even with little rainfall. The brown clay also contains a high iron content, giving this wine a fine and characteristic minerality. Martin Reinfeld aged this wine in used wooden barrels to prevent oak notes from overpowering the fruit.

Blaufränkisch, a unique wine grape from Austria

Along with St. Laurent , Blaufränkisch is an original Austrian grape. And what about Zweigelt ? It's better known, but it's a cross between St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch. Blaufränkisch produces deep red wines with plenty of dark fruit (blackberries, black cherries) and lovely notes of black olive, leather, ink, lead pencil, and violets. It can age well in oak, but it shouldn't be overpowering.
