Bernhard Fiedler from the Grenzhof winery is a winemaker with heart and soul. Like his vines, he is deeply rooted in the region, and his wines, like him, are not superficial dazzlers, but individual heads of character with depth and elegance. The wine academic, who is also a lecturer at the Wine Academy, tries to respond to the particularities of the region and combine tradition and modernity.
From ten hectares of vineyards on the east-facing slopes around Mörbisch, he presses elegant white wines and expressive red wines. Noble sweet wines from special years complete his assortment. Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Muskat Ottonel are the focal points for white wine, Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and Cabernet Sauvignon for red wine.
Bernhard Fiedler cultivates an elegant, balanced style; overly distinctive use of barrique is not his thing. The winemaker is a member of the "Leithaberg DAC" group and demonstrates the good ageing potential of the Mörbisch vineyards with his Leithaberg wines, made from Blaufränkisch and Pinot Blanc.
Bernhard Fiedler is considered one of the most active bloggers among Austrian winemakers. At www.bernhard-fiedler.at, there is always something new and worth knowing to read from the world of wine in general and from his own winery in particular.
