Kirchweg, Steinerne Brücke, Stein am Rain – these names are telling. Steep terraces – Pichl Point, Kollmitz and Kollmütz complement the already mentioned – built on granite and gneiss are the foundation upon which the excellent Federspiele and Smaragde of the family Eigl rest. The Eigls have been producing typical Wachau wines on their 8 hectares in and around Joching for half a century. Grüner Veltliner is their number one grape in the assortment of family Eigl. Additionally they cultivate Riesling, Pinot Gris and some other white varieties. In 2003 a new cellar was built which allows for the combination of slow vinification processes with new technologies. The old winemaker’s house in Wösendorf hosts a contemporary vinothek, in which both cold and warm classic dishes perfectly complement the fine wines of the family.
