He converted the vineyards and winery to biodynamic production in 2006, and is Respekt Biodyn certified. Claus vinifies mostly domestic grape varieties such as Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, Grüner Veltliner and St. Laurent,  supplemented by Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc from both the west and east sides of Lake Neusiedl. Claus does not use any cultivated yeast, and only very slight or no dosing of sulphur dioxide. He ages many of his wines in amphora rather than wooden barrels, which he views as a conscious step back, a reduction to the essential - the grape and the soil. Reduction, minimalism and a free spirit are the guiding themes of Claus Preisinger.\u003cbr\u003e-Volker Wine Imports\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42841950355707,"sku":"00073220","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/products\/9b1b700b12649b215b68ed9cc8391d05.jpg?v=1648696552","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/claus-preisinger-kalkenstein-blaufrankisch-neusiedlersee-burgenland-at-2020","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
