Producer Information

The Wachau is like hardly any other wine-growing region strongly influenced by the terraced vineyards with their ancient dry stone walls. These are not only responsible for the visual appeal for which the Wachau is so famous; they are also responsible for the worldwide unique character that unites the wines of the Wachau. The manual cultivation of the terraces is extremely laborious (about 5 times more work compared to drivable vineyards). Therefore, many of the old terraces are threatened by abandonment, which would change the landscape of the Wachau in the medium term. I have made it my goal to acquire exposed terraces with mainly old vines and to save them from being cleared. Although this can only be done by hand - without machines - I am convinced: the wine qualities are so unique, full of character and spectacular that it is worth the effort. The majority of the vines are between 30 and 70 years old. Drinking flow and storage life of the wines are the main focus of all decisions of the work. The processing of healthy grapes without Botrytis fungus infestation is the highest priority. This results in fine, highly elegant wines with filigree minerality and lots of tension.
