Blaufränkisch 2023

In Podersdorf, where the iconic lighthouse stands in Lake Neusiedl, the Lentsch family has been cultivating wine for over three generations. It all began with the great-grandfather and a few vineyards on a hobbyist level even before 1955. The young winery truly became visible in 1962 when Franz Lentsch senior built the 30-meter-long brick vaulted cellar, which remains the heart of the operation to this day.
Today, the Lentsch family winery rests on four shoulders: father Franz is the tinkerer in the cellar, mother Elisabeth is the hostess with an eye for tastings. Their sons Markus and Thomas, as the next generation, are leading the business into a modern future. Markus is a trained winemaker and is responsible for the cellar, quality, and sales. Thomas combines technology and vineyard work and keeps the machinery running. With a total area of 15 hectares - half white, half red - the Lentsch family has become a serious player on Lake Neusiedl.
The oenological focus is astonishingly clear: In the white wine sector, Burgundy varieties such as Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay dominate. In the red wine sector, they rely on Burgenland classics such as Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, and St. Laurent, often as a Reserve. In suitable years, noble sweet wines are also produced in the highest predicate levels.
The style is maximally shaped by the lake: A huge heat reservoir that ensures rich and round ripeness. Finely spicy character from exciting soils. The hot, dry winds from the Pannonian Basin keep the canopy dry and give the wine character and grip - not like a stupid muscle-bound brute, but like a structurally trained athlete. Fascinating wines.
