Loiserberg, a terraced Erste Lage (Premiere Cru classified) vineyard with a southeast exposure, is their highest and coolest vineyard site, at 400m above sea-level. The vines here are over 30 years old, and the soils are composed of glimmer slate, with a little loess on top. The cold winds from the...

The Käferberg vineyard overlooks Langenlois and is to Gruner Veltliner what the Heiligenstein vineyard is to Riesling - world famous. The roots of the 62-year-old vines grow deep in a very rocky soil and bring a special saltiness in the wine. It is a sunny vineyard, but also very windy. The...

The grapes for this wine come from various mountain slopes with the Loiserberg and the Steinmassl making up the lion’s share. The goal is to deliver an elegant interpretation of Langenlois and the cool, elevated slopes that make it such a special place. The must was fermented in temperature-...

Blend of Gruner, Riesling, Weissburgunder, and Muskateller - all from the Loiserberg vineyard. Made in the same way as the Belle Naturelle - ten days on skins in open top red wine fermenters. Must goes into 600 L oak barrels. Unfined, unfiltered. Use 10mg/L of sulfur at bottling.

From terraced vineyards in Langenlois with a gneiss and granite terroir. Macerated for ten days on skins in open top red wine fermenters, then the free run juice is racked into 600L barrels for aging. Bottled unfiltered and unfined with 10mg/L of sulfur at bottling. Elderflower and chamomile on the...

The Rotes Handgemenge is a blend of Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch. The juiciness of the Zweigelt plays well with the structure of the Blaufrankisch. It's meant to be an easy drinker on days when you don't want to take yourself so seriously. It's bottled unfined and unfiltered.

The winery named this Blaufränkisch after family fathers Béla Wachter and Jóska Wiesler; the fruit is from each family's vineyards in Deutsch-Schützen and Eisenberg. The vines average between thirty and fifty years old. Aged for thirteen months in large wooden barrels (500 – 3000 liters).   

Facing southeast, Holzagasse is located 1000 feet above sea level on top of a hill and, because of the steepness of the site, the vineyard has to be terraced. The vines range from twenty to fifty years old and the soil is pure löss. The fruit here ripens later than Gebling, but Buchegger harvests...

Like all of Hoch's wines, the goal is to "bottle nature"; fermentations are spontaneous, no sugar or enzymes are added, only a low amount of sulfur at bottling. All fermentation and aging happens in neutral French oak barrels. This is a blend of three vintages. The Riesling is grown on the...

Christoph has very active, chalky soil much like what is found in the Côte des Blancs in Champagne. Upon learning this, he wanted to try out making a pet-nat. In an effort to learn about sparkling wine, he spent time in Champagne with De Sousa, Laherte, and LDM's Champagne Tarlant; Benoît Tarlant...

The Rosengartl vineyard is a legendary site for Riesling. It is on the right bank of the Danube on the famous Nussberg hill, a south-facing limestone slope that has great views of Vienna. Ambrositsch has eight rows of vines, planted in 2000 and 2001, right in the center of the plateau, the best...

A combination of second press juice from all of the white wine holdings covering the entire four hectares. Because this includes everything from the five-year old vines of Kosmopolit to the old-vine Grüner planted in 1960, it's considerably more serious than most wine bottled in the liter format.

This Gemischter Satz is named Kosmopolit as it comes from five sites on both sides of the Danube in Vienna. The grapes are picked on the same day by two teams, each consisting of approximately ten to twelve people. In the evening, all of the grapes go into the press together and the next day after...

From a single parcel on the right side of the Danube with Ambrositsch’s oldest vines, planted in the 1950’s. It’s a mix of ancient varities that are not known and twelve that are familiar, some of them rare. Brenna Quigley, a reknowned geologist, explained in a recent AWMB seminar that these marl ...

The single-vineyard Grassnitzberg was the first vineyard owned by the Tement family and was planted in the early 1950's. It's a special site with coralline limestone soil with south-southeast facing slopes. After natural fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months on the lees in big neutral oak...

The Zieregg "IZ" is a very special and limited wine. Manfred was very interested in achieving the greatest expression of origin in a bottle of wine. In 2005, he and Armin decided to experiment with intracellular fermentation. The grapes undergo an intracellular fermentation, hence "IZ" for...

Ehrenhausen is one of the main villages where Tement has vineyards. The vineyards in Ehrenhausen are characterized by fertile coralline limestone soil that contains fossilized seashells, called muschelkalk in German. The mineral soil requires a particularly slow and gentle maturation time. After...

Two bottles each from the following parcels in Zieregg: Sieben Reihen, Karmeliten Terrassen, and Kiesner Berg.
