The bread and butter wine of the Wachter Wiesler winery. It is what Christoph Wachter considers his calling card, especially as this wine is a homage to the two grandfathers Béla Wachter and Jóska Wiesler. It symbolizes the coming together of the two families- somewhat reminds me of The Godfather movies just for Blaufränkisch in the Burgenland. The grapes come from two distinct terroirs: the iron-rich clay soils of Deutsch-Schützen and the greenschist-dominated slopes of Eisenberg. After fermentation, the wines are aged in traditional large wooden barrels for about two years, allowing the unique characteristics of each vineyard to shine through.

At the remarkable age of just 20, Christoph Wachter-Wiesler took over his family’s Wachter-Wiesler winery, becoming the fifth generation to champion their legacy of exceptional Austrian wine. With invaluable support from his sister, Christoph focused on Blaufränkisch, Austria’s iconic red wine grape, renowned for its elegance and aging potential. Rooted in the heart of the Eisenberg wine region, the Wachter-Wiesler estate spans 16 hectares across 65 meticulously maintained parcels.

This unique region, rich in iron-laden greenschist soils, shapes the distinct character of their organic Austrian wines. Burgenland’s terroir imbues their Blaufränkisch with a rare minerality, a hallmark that has positioned Wachter-Wiesler among the leaders of Austrian red wine producers.

Over the last decade, Christoph and his sister transitioned the winery to certified organic viticulture, championing a natural, minimalist approach in the cellar. Their natural wines are crafted with no additives, no fining, and minimal sulphur, resulting in pure, unadulterated expressions of the terroir.

Now in his 30s, Christoph continues to refine both Blaufränkisch and Olaszrizling, producing single-vineyard wines that showcase the full potential of these native varieties.
