AUTHENTICITY IS OUR CREDO. What we want is to craft wines that reflect the year, the soil and the special microclimate of the Wachau. The subtle nuances of each single vineyard are to be experienced and tasted in their multi-layered uniqueness. This presupposes multi-pass manual picking of premium-quality, physiologically ripe grapes, careful grape processing, and traditional upbringing of the wines in large oak casks that are 30 to 40 years old. We aim for naturalness and distinctiveness, doing consistently without chaptalization, fining and concentration. We compare the vintage cycle and vinification to the birth of a human being. The wine also requires affection, care and the guidance to perfection. > close
