Gernot and Heike Henrich are life long innovators. Since taking over the family estate in 1985 they have constantly sought to improve and explore. Now farming biodynamically, which they see as being right for the planet and better for the wines, they were among the first to move to focus on quality and champion local grape varieties.
This wine takes its name from the vineyards in which they grow. Old vine Blaufrankish grown on the Leitha hills, hills rich in limestone, calcarius, sandstone and mica schist overlooking lake Neusiedl.
