Weingut Paul Lehrner is located in the heart of central Burgenland, in Horitschon, and run by the Lehrner family. Paul Lehrner devotes particular attention to Austria's indigenous flagship variety, the Blaufränkisch. No wonder, as the heavy, deep loamy soils of the region are nearly exclusively planted to local grape varieties. The area has become colloquially known as "Blaufränkischland" - as Blaufränkisch is the most widely planted grape variety.
The family business employs an organic mix of tradition and modernity. A focus on nature in the vineyards and care in handling the grapes builds the character of these elegant red wines that Paul Lehrner makes with such tireless passion. The winemaker focuses on varietal character, provenance and gustatory enjoyment - characteristics that are embedded into the entire range, from the uncomplicated entry-level wines to the house's top Blaufränkisch wines.
For years, the estate has been one of the best wineries in the country, with top mentions in all the major wine guides as well as top rankings in high profile tastings. These accolades underline Paul Lehrner's winemaking expertise. The winery has a large fan base, partly because Paul Lehrner has remained a down-to-earth winemaker despite all his success.
