Hubert Sandhofer

Austrian Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt from Neusiedlersee's continental terroir.

Hubert Sandhofer works in Neusiedlersee, the warm continental region of Burgenland where Austria's most distinctive red wines take shape. The winery focuses on the indigenous varieties that thrive in this climate: Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt, both dark-skinned grapes with mineral precision and structure. The Reserve Blaufränkisch stands as the flagship, a wine that demonstrates the grape's capacity for depth and complexity in this terroir. Alongside it, the Eisner Chardonnay shows the region's ability to produce white wines of weight and character, while the Reserve Zweigelt rounds out a portfolio rooted in Austrian tradition. Falstaff has rated these wines, recognizing their quality. The winery's work reflects the particular conditions of Neusiedlersee—a region shaped by its shallow lake and continental influences, where ripeness and acidity find natural balance.
