The return of Reihburg - Uwe Schiefer continues to write history

Some stories in viticulture are more than vintages, grape varieties or ratings – they tell of people, attitude and an unshakeable belief in what is possible.
One of these stories belongs to Uwe Schiefer.

Die Rückkehr des Reihburg - Uwe Schiefer schreibt weiter Geschichte

Uwe was never the loud type. As a former sommelier, he preferred to let his wines do the talking. In the 1990s, he swapped his service jacket for a vine cutter and began to reinterpret the Blaufränkisch from the Eisenberg – sparse, purist, profound. Uwe was one of the first to focus on origin rather than technique. And he was heard.
But even great winegrowers are not spared setbacks. After severe weather events and economic turbulence, things became quiet around him. Too quiet. But true passion knows no retreat – it seeks new paths.

Today we can say: Uwe is back

With incredible tenacity, he has managed to buy back some of his celebrated 2021 wines – including the legendary Reihburg Blaufränkisch and his Merlot with its strong character. It is a comeback that means far more than just a few bottles of wine. It is a sign of courage and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Uwe Schiefer has decided to offer a small circle of connoisseurs and collectors the exclusive opportunity to purchase these two wines at a particularly fair price – a sign of appreciation for all those who value his work and his style.

Quantities are limited, and anyone familiar with Uwe’s style knows that these are wines with attitude and depth that few in Austria vinify so uncompromisingly.

Please contact us if you are interested.
It is a special opportunity not only to drink exceptional wines, but also to be at the side of a charismatic winemaker during a decisive phase of his work.
