Thomas Lehner

Burgenland Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt from Austria's eastern wine frontier.

Thomas Lehner operates in Burgenland, Austria's easternmost wine region, where continental climate and diverse soils shape distinctive red wines. The winery focuses on indigenous Austrian varieties, particularly Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt—grapes that thrive in Burgenland's warm conditions and produce wines of structure and depth. The No. 19 Blaufränkisch Edelgraben, sourced from the Edelgraben vineyard, represents the winery's work with Blaufränkisch, Austria's signature dark-skinned variety. Zweigelt appears across multiple bottlings, including the No. 23 Zweigelt Kranerwitzl and the No. 2 Zweigelt, each capturing the grape's characteristic balance of ripe fruit and acidity. Falstaff has rated these wines, anchoring them within Austria's prestige critical framework.
