Burgenland, Austria. fro, the importer, "Another fun and delicious project from sisters Birgit and Katrin Pfneisl. Rather than make wine with their father and uncles who run the well established family estate in Austria, the sisters decided to farm their ancestral vines in Sopron, Hungary. From the outset, their wines contrasted sharply with those of their elders. Organic farming, old vines and wild fermentation, all contribute to the finesse of their wines. They're lighter, prettier, less structured, more aromatic, so we were happy to discover Birgit and Katrin's increasing involvement in the Austrian estate. The Austrian Zweigler is another collaborative project born from the common goal of deepening our relationships with each other and our common love of Austria's dearest red grape, Zweigelt."

Left Austria

Bridgit and Katrin were born and raised in Austria, their grandparents fled their vineyards in Sopron to escape Communism and settled just across the border in Kleinmutschen, Burgenland, where the “z” was dropped from their surname. In '93, the Pfneisl family re-acquired their Hungarian vineyards. Having since established Weingut Pfneisl, one of Austria’s premier red wine estates, Birgit and Katrin’s father Franz Pfneisl and his brothers, decided to give these ancestral vineyards to the sisters.

In the vineyard the sisters employ a wide range of organic techniques ranging from standard practices like native crop cover to less conventional methods like insect pheromones. Their decision to pursue organic farming was at first controversial. Idealistic in nature, organic farming in reality is challenging and risky. So far, their idealism and intuition are paying off.
