Prellenkirchen is an Ortswein from the eponymous village in Carnuntum, with grapes from the Ried Holzweingärten site on Spitzerberg. This pure Blaufränkisch exhibits a Burgundian style, with emphasized elegance, juicy acidity, and fine tannins, while the limestone soil contributes to the wine’s mineral character. After fermentation and maceration, the wine ages in used wooden barrels and Tonneau barrels, which adds additional complexity without overpowering the varietal character.
