Weingut Heinrich Naked Red (750ml)

Gernot and Heike Heinrich are a husband and wife team that took over Gernot’s family winery in 1985.  Heinrich was one of the first producers in the region to branch out from making simple white wines to producing high-quality reds.  He saw the potential in local varietals like Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and St Laurent.  They have been practicing organic and biodynamic viticulture since 2006 and wholly believe that it is the best choice for both the planet and the wines.  He feels that biodynamics lends to better wine with a more precise expression of vineyard and soil.  They were one of the founding members of Respekt, a certifying body for biodynamic viticulture in Austria.  Gernot believes that the best wines express a sense of place, and that they can only do this if they’re rooted in a biologically diverse environment and the vines live in symbiosis with a healthy ecosystem.  As expected from a biodynamic producer, Heinrich aims for as little intervention in the winery as possible.
