The Wines

For more than 20 years Engelbert Prieler fiddled, tested and tried to hear what nature had to say. Until he finally got what he wanted: a limited number of grape varieties, with each in the vineyard that was ideal for it.

The Prielers have reduced the number of their varieties to the most significant. The whites are Welschriesling,
Pinot blanc and Chardonnay. The reds are Blaufränkisch, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. And in recent years Pinot Noir and St. Laurent as well, which Silvia Prieler newly planted despite many reservations. She has been rewarded with Burgundian fruitiness and fascinating finesse.

The Prielers’ wines are always powerful with potential and presence on the palate. They encourage the wine aficionado to carefully consider them, try them again and still remain curious about the next ship.

To achieve that goal, it takes a combination of old traditions, a gentle approach to nature and ultramodern cellar technology. Limiting output and using natural methods of cultivation in the vineyards, strict selection, careful harvesting: these are the prerequisites for obtaining the finest grapes. Fermentation in stainless-steel tanks or oak casks and patient ageing result in the appropriate finish.
