At the young age of 24, Claus was recognized by the wine community and accepted into the renowned ‘’Pannobile” association of wineries. The aim of the Pannobile association is to neither be “modern” nor “international”, but to be committed to the soils, the character, and the climate of their region to produce a terroir driven premium wine using primarily indigenous grapes.
In 2009, after a number of years farming his own vineyards, Claus, moved his operation into a new, modern facility overlooking his vines near the village of Gols by Lake Neusiedlersee in Burgenland.
Puszta Libre, a red blend of Zweigelt and Sankt Laurent grapes grown in his biodynamic vineyards around the village of Gols, near the Neusiedlersee in the Burgenland region of eastern Austria. It’s named for the “Puzsta” – neighbouring Hungary’s Pannonian Plain, which reaches to the Burgenland – and the wine underwent partial whole-bunch pressing, some carbonic maceration, spontaneous fermentation and no filtration. With its Beaujolais-esque character, the Puszta Libre is clearly unlike the traditionally deeper, fuller red wines of the Gols region.
