Ried Fasching
Blaufränkisch DAC Eisenberg reserve - SINGLE VINYARD
Ried Fasching was our first single-vineyard wine from Eisenberg from vines over 40 years old. This wine embodies liquid terroir from the Eisenberg. This is how Eisenberg is fun.

The rock subsoil is sandy loam (silt), the reed is sandy-gravelly in the northeast and sandy-clayey in the southwest and belongs to the Pannonian sediments (approx. 10 million years old). The local green slate can be found at a depth of approx. 1.5 m.
