Gernot Heinrich has 30 hectares of vines in Gols, Burgenland, Austria’s easternmost province, only a few kilometres from the Hungarian border. After graduating in viticulture from Klosterneuberg, Gernot’s vinous travels in Bordeaux, Spain, California and Italy convinced him that his best approach was to use indigenous grapes to try and make the highest quality, most characteristic wines he could.
Gernot has been acquiring vineyards and planting local red grapes such as Blaufränkisch, St Laurent and Zweigelt for the last ten years. As the climate here is continental with hot summers and cold winters, the resulting wines are weighty and often powerful. This weight is used to good effect in Heinrich’s ‘Red’, a blend of Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Blaufrankisch, which is full, supple and quaffable, with nice structure and balance.
