"Less is more" is the philosophy to which Uwe Schiefer has dedicated himself from the very beginning. Virtually no technology is used in the vineyard or during vinification in order to emphasise the character of the terroir and the variety. "Without exception, the wine defines itself in the vineyard," says Uwe Schiefer, who is one of the absolute pioneers of a delicate and pure Blaufränkisch style. Schiefer cultivates ancient steep slopes on the Eisenberg, as well as white wine sites typical of the region on the Tschaterberg and in Markt Neuhodis, where he develops new taste qualities, particularly with Welschriesling.
The flagship is the extremely storable "Blaufränkisch Ried Reihburg", which is selected from vines up to 80 years old and matured in large wooden barrels. In June 2020, René Gabriel awarded the 2011 vintage 20 out of 20 points, the highest score, and in autumn 2022, Uwe Schiefer won the Falstaff Reserve Trophy ex aequo with the Blaufränkisch Ried Reihburg 2018. Other top wines include "Blaufränkisch Ried Szapary", "Blaufränkisch vom blauen Schiefer" and the Pinot Noir and Merlot.
