DESCRIPTION
The name of today’s Ried Marienthal can be traced back to 1881 and it is one of the oldest and most famous sites on Lake Neusiedl. The vineyard was evidently on everyone’s lips even earlier. In the year 1476, it was called “Marchteil” and stems from the Old High German term “Mark”, which means “border”. Locals call the approximately 10.3 hectare vineyard “Moaritoal” in our dialect.\nMarienthal is legendary for its Blaufränkisch and the Prielers have had Blaufränkisch vines in this vineyard for three decades, right there where the limestone base descends gently towards Oggau. Georg's father had to replant their parcel in this vineyard and because you can’t truly express the potential of such a site with young vines, the family waited until 2011 to produce a single-vineyard Blaufränkisch Marienthal.\nRegion Burgenland\nWinery Village Schützen am Gebirge\nGrape Variety Blaufränkisch\nAppellation Burgenland\nVineyard Marienthal\nSoil Type Pure marine limestone\nAge of Vines (Average) 30 years\nFermentation & Elevage in closed tank fermented, the mash was just submerged; maceration: 4 weeks, expansion and storage in 500 l oak barrels for 20 months\nTotal Acidity 6.1 g/L\nResidual Sugar 1.2 g/L\nAlcohol by Volume (%) 13%
