IBY
The red wine estate IBY has been cultivating the vine in Burgenland for five generations, since the beginning of the 20th century—red wine varieties are planted exclusively on their 35 hectares of vineyard. Their palette of grape varieties is driven by the Blaufränkisch—75% of the area under vines. The Blaufränker is known for most vividly reflecting the region’s Pannonian climate and its deep and heavy loam soils. The bright blackberry and cherry aromas of the grape are unmistakable, with its mineralic and earthy spice contributing
delicacy and refinement.
Anton Iby V, with the strong support of his parents, has been leading the estate since 2000; his training includes practical experience in the vineyards of Priorat and California. His grandfather, Anton III, made the decision to mold the family estate into a red wine specialist, as well as to concentrate on Blaufränkisch. Other varieties planted are the indigenous Zweigelt and the international Merlot, both of which do well in the soils of Horitschon, enhanced by the estate’s regime of organic viticulture. Their traditional large casks of Austrian oak are instrumental in creating wine that is direct, without any cosmetic enhancement.
