Michaela Riedmüller is particularly fond of one mountain on the border: the Braunsberg. In fact, the characteristic, striking mountain with its massive rock - geologically part of the Little Carpathians - is one of the last blank spots on Austria's wine map. Here, the winemaker enthusiastically vinifies Blaufränkisch of a special kind. Elegant, fine and cool - this probably best describes the style of her Blaufränkisch, which is characterised by the gneiss and granite of the Braunsberg. The Spitzerberg rises up just ten kilometres from the Braunsberg, where Michaela Riedmüller produces Blaufränkisch with taut tannins, fine minerality and dancing acidity thanks to its very dry and chalky terroir. Not to be forgotten are her "Down to Earth" wines, a name that could not be more fitting. It was the start of her own journey, the drive to do her "own down-to-earth thing". The "Down to Earth" series stands for unfiltered, skin-fermented, authentic wines matured in wooden barrels.
