If you want to understand what "Eisenberg" tastes like in one glass, this is it. The Eisenberg bottling is Christoph Wachter's core expression of the appellation, drawn from a mix of sites on the iron-rich green shale that gives the region its name and its signature. Eisenberg means "iron mountain" — there have been iron mines here since antiquity — and you taste it: pure black and blue fruit that never tips into overripe, always laced with acidity and that unmistakable ferrous minerality. Native-yeast fermented and aged in large neutral barrels, it's the most representative iron-slate signature in the lineup and the ideal introduction to why these cool-climate reds are so distinctive. From the strong 2022 vintage. Pre-Arrival, arriving mid-July.

More about Wachter Wiesler

The sanguine, blue and green slate minerality of Eisenberg make some of the very best Blaufränkisch anywhere. The least populated sub region of Burgenland and filled with polycultural farms, is actually cooler than its northern counterparts, leading to higher acidities and signature spicy, violet and lilac toned, black fruited, and intensely mineral red wines.

Christoph Wachter, who took over his family estate at the tender age of 20, manages to capture the essence of the place, across his whole line up from entry level regional blend to top, single-vineyard bottles.

Vineyards are now certified organic, with some biodynamic methods employed to create a living biosphere for his vines. In the cellar grapes are fermented with partial whole cluster, no new oak, with long aging in order to capture the terroir through the grapes.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled lamb, roast pork, venison sausage, or mushroom risotto. Excellent with paprika-spiced stews and roast duck.

Tasting Profile

Black and blue fruit, violet, and Chinese five-spice over a clear ferrous, savory minerality. Medium-bodied, bright cool-climate acidity, firm fine tannin, long mineral finish. Structured and spicy, never jammy.
