But this bottle is distinctly his own: a personal project he began in 2020, giving the young grower room to work with the family’s vineyards through a looser, more immediate lens. At just 21, Clemens was named Burgenland’s most popular young winemaker in Falstaff’s 2024 community vote, but the more meaningful credential is in the glass: unmistakably Eisenberg, with Blaufränkisch’s dark-fruited intensity sharpened by the region’s cool, iron-rich soils.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe 2024 Blaufränkisch is the clearest introduction to that philosophy. Rather than pursuing density or oak-driven power, Clemens leans into the grape’s natural brightness: black cherry and crushed blackberry, wild herbs, white pepper, and a distinctly stony, ferric edge. It is a red with the aromatic lift and drinking ease of Cru Beaujolais, but its structure is more savory and grounded—a superb answer for anyone who loves peppery Northern Rhône Syrah, taut Loire Cabernet Franc, or cool-climate Pinot with a little more grip. Vintage 2024 brought a small but strong Austrian harvest, and Eisenberg was among the regions that retained impressive freshness and quality after a challenging growing season.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-semibold leading-tight text-pretty mb-2 mt-4 [[data-has-inline-images]_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"why-youll-love-it\"\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-secondary list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAustrian red at its most expressive:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlaufränkisch brings dark berries, tart cherry, cracked pepper, and a savory herbal thread—vivid fruit with real character, never simple sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA singular sense of place:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEisenberg’s iron-rich soils lend mineral tension and fine tannic structure, turning an easy-to-love red into something that also feels unmistakably regional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA genuine next-generation story:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eClemens’s personal label is rooted in the resources and experience of his family’s fifth-generation estate, but carries a fresher, smaller-scale, more individual point of view.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-semibold leading-tight text-pretty mb-2 mt-4 [[data-has-inline-images]_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"how-to-serve-it\"\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-secondary list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOpen about 15–20 minutes before pouring and serve between 55–60°F.
