THE WINERY
100 % unmixed! 100 % hand-picked!
Our winery has been a family business for 150 years.
Even though we keep up with the times, our philosophy is based on
traditional values:
PASSION for nature and wine is all-important for our profession.
It is the driving force in everything we do.
CARE is what we let flow into the work in our vineyards. Steep terraced
vineyards and a variety of soils make care into a particular challenge, but
these give our wines their very special character.
RESPECT is what we have for our vines. Year after year we get the grapes
and we carefully process them using our experience and knowledge.
The Vinea Wachau was founded in 1983 as an association of Wachau
winemakers. Anchored in the Codex are natural winemaking, ensured
origin and strict self-control. We have been members of Vinea
Wachau since its founding, and take special care to preserve Wachau
wine culture. Association membership entitles us to offer quality
categories such as Steinfeder®, Federspiel® and Smaragd®.
Great wines are not simply born. They require outstanding soil,
superb vineyards and just the right varieties. Only in this way can you
produce wines with a distinctive terroir. Our farmed vineyard extends
to a length of about 10 km. Thus, the wines are characterised by
different environmental factors, such as the cooler air in Joching and
Woesendorf, and Pannonian heat that comes to the fore in Duernstein
and Loiben.
