{"title":"Claus Preisinger","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"66\" data-end=\"418\"\u003eClaus first began working with grapes and wine as a hobby alongside his father. He later spent several formative years working with his neighbor, Hans Nittnaus, one of the leading figures of Burgenland’s Blaufränkisch scene. That period along with his mentor’s influence proved decisive, ultimately inspiring Claus to dedicate himself fully to winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"420\" data-end=\"677\"\u003eHe released his first vintage in 2000, farming just 3 hectares at the time. Today, he works 19 hectares spread across 64 individual plots. He practices uncompromising biodynamic viticulture throughout the estate and has been certified by Respekt since 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"679\" data-end=\"871\"\u003eHis modern, \u003cspan\u003estate-of-the-art cellar \u003c\/span\u003eis located outside the village of Gols, deliberately set apart from the traditional Kellergasse,\u0026nbsp;a choice that reflects his independent mindset.

Rather than following established formulas, he trusts his instincts, constantly experiments, and seeks new interpretations. He was one of the firsts Austrian winemakers to explore skin-fermented white wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1593\"\u003eFermentation and aging take place in a variety of amphorae as well as large barrels of over 1,000 liters.
