Claus Preisinger

Pioneer, Master, Legendary winemaker Claus Preisinger everybody!

Played around with winemaking with his father, got inspired by Hans Nitthaus. The first vintage in 2000. The rest is history! Claus now owns and cultivates 68 parcels all certified biodynamic. He was the first Austrian winemaker to play around with Georgian amphorae and skin-contact wines. Claus loves to experiment, and his cellar intervention is almost non-existent. Hardly any or no sulphur added.

In his own words: “My wines are a reflection of nature. I don't intervene artificially, neither in the vineyard nor in the cellar. Even if this could improve the result, I would rather be satisfied with what nature gives us than meddling and manipulating myself.” - Claus Preisinger
