Decanter - Expert's Choice Blaufränkisch | 2009 Leithaberg DAC Blaufränkisch
18/20 (93/100) Takes some coaxing to bring out the violet and raspberry bouquet. But complex palate from the start. Other producers have trailed off but Prieler is still a clear frontrunner: clarety restraint, good fruit and length. |

100% Blind - Tasted Journal | 2011 Leithaberg DAC Blaufränkisch
91/100 "Dark purple red with violet hue. Restrained fruit and overall closed character, but excellent structure on the palate. A promising wine for the future." |

Wine Enthusiast: Anne Krebiehl | 2010 Leithaberg DAC Blaufränkisch
92/100 Red cherry fruit, with edges of white pepper, plays charmingly on both the nose and palate. The svelte figure of the wine belies its depth: this has subtle, Burgundian virtues and earthy undertones that provoke stimulating conversation and thought. An ideal accompaniment for subtle, nuanced dishes or a really good book. |
