Ernst and Herbert Triebaumer

Rust

Based in the beautiful town of Rust, Ernst Triebaumer has earned a reputation for producing some of the finest red wines in Austria and in 1986 his single vineyard Blaufränkisch Mariental became one of the first indigenous reds to gain international acclaim.

Ernst and his wife Margarethe firmly believe in working closely with the land and pay special attention to soil management, biological methods, good canopy and leaf management. The grapes are rigourously hand harvested and winemaking kept very simple. With his sons Herbert and Gerhard, Ernst also produces wonderful sweet wines that have wonderful ageing potential - Blaufränkisch and the sweet Ausbruch are particularly outstanding.
