IBY Rotweingut

The IBY red wine estate not only produces Blaufränkisch, it "lives" it as well.

Since 2017, Anton V (Quintus) and Eva Maria Iby have been passionately continuing the family winery in Horitschon – thus writing the IBY story in a new, independent style. Their ambition: to create wines that reflect the unadulterated character of the grape variety, the soil, and the climate – without any wine fining. This philosophy also means a clear return to the wood barrel. The result is fruity, elegant, and finesse-rich red wines that impress with their supple structure and depth – wines that captivate from the very first sip. "Our Blaufränkisch wines are powerful in body, with intense, complex fruit and fine, velvety tannins. This is how Blaufränkisch should be – elegant, precise, and full of finesse," says Eva Maria Iby.

In 2018, we presented our new label design for the first time – modern, minimalist, and stylish. The classic "IBY bar" makes way for a new visual identity that puts the wine in the spotlight. The three letters IBY are now clearly in focus – on a white background, accompanied by the traditional house and the oak leaf in the center. The latter symbolizes our origin: Horitschon, "the people of the oak forest," where oaks once stood and where our Blaufränkisch is now rooted.

With the construction of our new pressing house and a modern barrel cellar, we focus on even gentler processing and optimal aging conditions. Two temperature zones allow young wines to have the necessary warmth for acid breakdown, while riper wines achieve full harmony at cooler temperatures. This way, the precise fruit and vibrant freshness are preserved – the basis for long-lasting, characterful red wines.
