| The estate is located in the town of Deutschkreutz in the Mittelburgenland wine-growing region in Austria. Hans Igler, who died in 1994, was considered the grandseigneur, doyen and leading figure by many wine producers in the Burgenland region. The red wine pioneer was the first in the Burgenland to experiment with barrique maturation in the early Eighties, was one of the first to plant a significant area with Cabernet Sauvignon and dared to make a red blend. Together with artist Prof. Anton Lehmden he created Austria’s first artistically designed series of labels. Today the estate is run by his daughter Waltraud Reisner-lgler and her husband Wolfgang Reisner. The expanded and completely redesigned tasting and sales rooms as well as the barrique cellar were commissioned in 2002. Sustainable vineyard practices are implemented. The vineyard area totals 25 hectares, with holdings in the top sites Fabian, Hochberg and Kart. 98% of the area is planted with red varieties: Blaufränkisch, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zweigelt, St. Laurent, Pinot Noir and Merlot, the balance is planted with the white varieties Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. The premium wines include, for example, the red blends „Vulcano” (60% Blaufränkisch, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Zweigelt, 5% Merlot – matured in barriques for 15 months) and „Ab Ericio” – (Latin for „vom Igel” or „from the hedgehog”, in memory of Hans Igler (40% Merlot, 40% Blaufränkisch, 20% Zweigelt – matured in barriques for 21 months), as well as the Blaufränkisch Hochberg, Pinot Noir Fabian and Cabernet Sauvignon Kart. Annual production is around 150.000 bottles of wine. Sparkling wine is also produced. The estate is a member of the Vereinigung Renommierte Weingüter Burgenland association.

The vintage 2004 |
| The wines of the 2004 vintage presented by Waltraud Reisner-Igler and Wolfgang Reisner were among the rare real surprises we have come across. As long ago as January the wines showed their class, but we felt they were perhaps showing more oak influence than we would ideally have liked. We tasted the wines again only two months later, and they presented a totally different picture. The wines had really settled down considerably, and showed significantly more fruit, depth and mineral notes than at the first tasting. We noted in January that the estate had obviously coped very well with the difficult vintage, and the development of the wines so far shows without a doubt that the winemakers at the Igler estate are real masters of their craft. Our complments! |
