Riedmüller Federnelke Rot

Lykkens barn fra Braunsberg. Et sandet-lerholdigt terroir, understøttet af Donaus luftfugtighed, giver denne vin sin særpræg. Efter fuldendt modning i små træfade bringes den med masser af kærlighed og opmærksomhed over i flasken. En kraftfuld-silkeblød cuvée af de vidunderlige druesorter Blaufränkisch og Zweigelt, der bærer min signatur som vinproducent: Ligeud, fyldt med følelser, ekstraordinær.

Carnuntum er Østrigs mindste vinregion med omkring 980 hektar. Her deler 44 producenter et køligt klima (der er meget blæsende, hvilket forklarer de mange vindmøller). Vinen har spillet en betydelig rolle siden Romerriget, da Carnuntum faktisk var den andenstørste by i riget efter Rom. Dette afspejles i de mange ruiner, der stadig er synlige i området. Carnuntum består af bakker, og Donaufloden løber gennem området med sin modererende indflydelse. De primære druesorter i området inkluderer Blauer Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, Grüner Veltliner og Chardonnay. Mindre kendte sorter som Neuburger er også på vej frem.

Riedmüller Blaufränkisch Spitzerberg

Federnelke Rot presents itself fruity, elegant, and profound. It is likely the potent aromas of Blauer Zweigelt, cherry sauce, plums, and chocolate that hit you first. However, the subtle tones of Blaufränkisch are well-balanced here. The typical animal, slightly blood-like, pepper, herbs, fresh acidity. A bit of old barrel influence makes the wine structured and tannin-focused, with pleasant fruit flavors and a complexity that can live up to a grand dinner. A delightful experience. Enjoy between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius.

Federnelke Rot

The lucky child from Braunsberg. A sandy-loamy terroir, supported by the humidity of the Danube, gives this wine its uniqueness. After maturing in small wooden barrels, it is brought into the bottle with a lot of love and mindfulness. A robust-silky blend of the wonderful grape varieties Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt, carrying my signature as a winemaker: Straightforward, filled with emotions, extraordinary.

Who is Michaela Riedmüller?

Michaela is an incredibly dedicated and talented winemaker from Austria’s smallest wine region, Carnuntum. She has taken over 7 hectares of the region’s best vineyards from her father, and since then, she has worked hard to further develop her father’s legacy. Michaela has preserved her father’s classic wine line with traditional Austrian wines such as Grüner Veltliner, Zweigelt, and Blaufränkisch. At the same time, she has put her own stamp on the winery by establishing the Down to Earth line. This natural wine line reflects Michaela’s love for working in harmony with nature and showcases her skill, creativity, and experimental approach.

During our visit to Carnuntum in the summer of 2021, we experienced Michaela’s 7-hectare family estate, which also houses a restaurant where wines can be enjoyed with classic Austrian Heuriger dishes. We highly recommend visiting the place if you are in the region. You can find more information about Michaela on her website.

Brief about Carnuntum

Carnuntum is Austria’s smallest wine region with approximately 980 hectares. Here, 44 producers share a cool climate (it is very windy, explaining the many windmills). Wine has played a significant role since the Roman Empire, as Carnuntum was actually the second-largest city in the empire after Rome. This is reflected in the many ruins still visible in the area. Carnuntum consists of hills, and the Danube River runs through the area with its moderating influence. The primary grape varieties in the region include Blauer Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, Grüner Veltliner, and Chardonnay. Lesser-known varieties like Neuburger are also gaining popularity.
