Ernst Triebaumer

Rust's Ausbruch and Blaufränkisch from Austria's Burgenland lakeside.

Ernst Triebaumer works in Rust, a historic wine village in Burgenland's Weinland region, where botrytis-affected grapes thrive in the warm microclimate near Lake Neusiedl. The winery's portfolio centers on three distinct expressions: a Ruster Ausbruch, the region's signature sweet wine made from nobly rotted grapes; a Grüner Veltliner Spätlese that captures the mineral precision and stone-fruit character the Austrian variety is known for; and a Blaufränkisch Urwerk Trocken, showcasing the dark-berried structure and peppery notes that define this indigenous red. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Falstaff, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The winery's approach reflects Burgenland's continental climate and the particular terroir of the Rust lakeside, where temperature moderation and humidity create conditions suited to both late-harvest whites and age-worthy reds.
