The Prickler red wine estate is located in Lutzmannsburg, the oldest documented wine-growing community in Burgenland, and sees itself as the guardian of the Lutzmannsburg terroir. Wine is the Prickler family's great passion. Every vine is lovingly cared for, quality in the vineyard and in the cellar work is a top priority and the greatest attention is paid to every detail.
The mild Pannonian climate with the most hours of sunshine in Burgenland pampers the vineyards on the Lutzmannsburg high plateau, where there is a special microclimate away from through roads. This impressive soil massif of loam, clay marl, tar and quartz sand is 50 metres higher than the plain or the village itself. The heavy soils offer optimal conditions for high-quality grapes with lots of fruit and tannin. An ideal location for great wines with their own style and elegance.
Elfi and Herbert Prickler started producing wine practically from scratch. Now run by Christian and Christina Prickler, the winery is now regarded as a beacon in the Blaufränkisch stronghold of Lutzmannsburg. Some of the vineyards here are particularly well tended. They are the work of Elfi Prickler, who has dedicated herself entirely to the care of the vines. "A vine must feel good, have a healthy environment," is her recipe for high quality grapes.
The meticulous work in the vineyards benefits son Christian, who is responsible for vinification as cellar master. Together with Herbert Prickler's many years of experience, he shapes the signature of Prickler wines. At tastings and presentations, Christina lovingly looks after her guests and customers and has all business matters under control in the office.
The frequent awards for the wines are testimony to the family's quality-oriented work. Healthy grapes, limited yields and gentle and modern processing result in fruity and full-bodied red wines of high quality and exceptional drinking pleasure!
