Claus Preisinger - Puszta Libre! 2022 (Zweigelt & St. Laurent Red Blend) / 750mL
Claus Preisinger (Burgenland, Austria)
Puszta Libre! is a young natural, ecological and biodynamic red wine made by Claus Preisinger in the Austrian region of Burgenland with the Zweigelt and Saint Laurent native varieties. This wine comes from vineyards lying on the north shore of Lake Neusiedl on very varied sandy loam soils, with flint, quartz, slate and limestone. Basing his work off Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic principles, Claus maintains the natural balance of the vineyard using only organic and biodynamic practices. Whole bunches of grapes undergo carbonic maceration with a light extraction. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts and the wine ages in 3000 litre foudres. It is finally bottled without being filtered, clarified or adding sulphur. This is a juicy red wine with delicious aromas of fresh red and black fruit and spicy touches. On the palate it is fruity, fresh and easy to drink. A sweet wine with soft tannins and a pleasant finish
