The minerality from the limestone soils adds depth, while the oak aging brings a nuanced complexity to the finish. With a long, persistent aftertaste, this bold red wine is perfect for pairing with red meat, charcuterie, and grilled lamb.

Meet the Producer, Schiefer

Schiefer

Style: Winery

Austria produces some remarkably precise wines, but Uwe Schiefer has always felt slightly separate from the more polished image people often associate with modern Austrian wine. Working in Südburgenland near the Hungarian border, he built a reputation around old vineyards, low yields and an almost stubborn commitment to expressing site rather than fashion.

Blaufränkisch sits at the centre of the story. In the right hands the grape can produce wines with dark berry fruit, pepper, herbs and remarkable mineral tension, and Schiefer has long been one of its strongest advocates. The vineyards are heavily influenced by slate and iron-rich soils, which contribute a distinctive savoury edge running through the wines.

The reds often feel more restrained than many people expect from Central European wine. There is depth and concentration, certainly, but also freshness and structure. They tend to age beautifully, gradually developing earthy, spicy complexity while holding onto their core energy.

What makes Schiefer particularly interesting is that the wines rarely seem interested in impressing quickly. They reward patience, food and occasionally a second bottle once the first conversation becomes more serious than originally intended.
