Iby winery
The Iby winery in Horitschon is an Austrian winery in the wine-growing region in central Burgenland .
history
From 1955 Anton Iby (* 1931) began increasing the vineyard area to 5.5 hectares . Anton Iby (* 1955) started bottling in 1984 together with his wife Hanni and expanded the business to 18 ha by 1995. He established the good reputation of the red winery nationwide. As a wine-growing politician from Central Burgenland, he played a leading role in the creation of the Mittelburgenland DAC designation of origin, which was introduced on August 30, 2006 . He had previously advocated turning away from international grape varieties in favor of the autochthonous Blaufränkisch . In a newspaper interview (2013), Anton Iby commented: “Towards the end of the 1990s, I came to the conclusion that the single varietal Blaufränkisch must be even better than the Cabernet Sauvignon, which was so popular at the time, provided we care about our native variety to the same extent As a consequence of this consideration, in 2004 he chopped all the Cabernet Sauvignon , Pinot Noir and Syrah vines on his clod and planted Blaufränkisch vines in their place.
Anton Iby (* 1975) has been responsible for vinification since 2000. Together with his wife Eva M. Iby and his parents, he converted the farm to organic farming.
The winery
The vineyard area is 38 hectares (as of 2016) and is mostly planted with Blaufränkisch. The cultivation takes place on the Horitschoner layers Dürrau, Hochäcker, Gfanger and Raga. The deep, heavy clay soils with a high proportion of clay offer ideal conditions for Blaufränkisch cultivation. The best-known wines are the Blaufränkisch Quintus , Chevalier , Hochäcker and Dürrau .
