The Ried Ratschen vineyard represents something special within Wachter-Wiesler's acclaimed Eisenberg holdings—a single site where mature Blaufränkisch vines have developed the deep root systems that define Austria's most compelling reds. This particular parcel benefits from an unusual soil composition of sandy clay over sand and gravel, creating the drainage and mineral complexity that allows Blaufränkisch to express its refined character.

Wachter-Wiesler has emerged as one of Burgenland's respected producers, and their Eisenberg wines consistently rank among quality expressions of this Austrian variety. The extended aging in large barrels reflects their commitment to allowing the wine's natural structure to develop without overwhelming the fruit with excessive oak influence.

This approach has earned recognition from critics who appreciate both the vineyard site and the producer's understanding of how to translate Burgenland's terroir into wines of distinction.

What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...

A very special single vineyard of 50-year-old vines with a sandy clay top soil and sand and gravel in the subsoil. Aged for 24 months in 2,000L barrels. Ratschen has darker fruit than the Weinberg and is quite structured with very fine tannins. It has deft balance - a football player who practices ballet for strength.
