70% Zweigelt, 15% Pinot Noir, 15% Saint Laurent from cool vineyards. The Zweigelt has a short maceration for color and the Pinot Noir and Saint Laurent are pressed white.

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...

Heiligenstein, the most famous vineyard in the Kamptal, is legendary for Riesling. The terraced south and southwest facing slope has a unique geological history and it's unusual that soil this old is at the surface of the earth. The outcropping bedrock consists of a reddish-brown sandstone with a...

Out of a total of the 30 hectares in this vineyard, Wachter-Wiesler farms five, at an elevation ranging from 250-300m above sea-level. With iron-rich clay, the soil characteristics here are quite similar to the the base of the Eisenberg hill. The single-vineyard Weinberg comes from the heart of the...

Starting with the 2017 vintage, Wachter-Wiesler began bottling two village-level wines, offering a middle ground between the Bela-Joska which gives a good idea of Eisenberg region and the show-stopping single-vineyard wines. The Eisenberg comes from three sites on the famous Eisenberg hill:...

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...

The fruit comes from a mix of old and young vines. Aged in large wooden barrels of 2400L.  

Ehmoser's Grüner Veltliner Wagram Terrassen is a perfect ambassador of wine from the famous deep loess soils of the region. The grapes are hand harvested from terraced vineyards on the hillsides surrounding Grossweikersdorf. The wine is gently pressed and aged on the lees in stainless steel tanks,...

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...

Like all of Hoch's still wines, the Rot (red) is a blend of three vintages, supporting Hoch's vision that the best expression of terroir comes from the blend rather than a dominant vintage. Young wines add fruit and older wines bring tannins and structure. The Rot is a blend of 80% Zweigelt and 20...

F.I.O. stands for four-in-one, a reference to the four vineyards that are blended to make this Wachau Grüner Veltliner and it also happens to be the name of the family dog. The vines are ten to 30 years-old and come from the right bank of the Danube with mainly sandy loess soils.

Wachtberg is among the best and most famous vineyard sites in Krems. The vineyard lies right behind the historical section of the city, above Pfarrplatz. The soil is a combination of loess and granite and the vines are 60-70 year-old, which is significant because it means that they are a true...

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.

Mainly Riesling, Welschriesling and Zierfandler made in one 750-litre barrel with minimal intervention. A slightly cooler cellar corner, a little more air contact, no filtration, no added sulphur; the finished result was a wine completely different to that of previous years. Innocent, almost clear...

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...
