Meinklang is a lively farm compromising the three typical fields of a Pannonian farmstead in East Austria south of capital town Vienna: wine-growing, fruits and agriculture. Each family-member is specialized in an aspect of farming. Unique is the estate owns Angus & Aubrac cattle herd. It's the farm's source for our own nutritious, organic fertilizer for lively soils in the vineyards and creates the closed circle in the biodynamic Demeter farming. Outstanding issues are the totally unpruned vines, called Graupert and the extended maturation in concrete egg-shaped containers. As well as the family initiated the first holistic Demeter brewery where we refine the ancient grain beer out of the old varieties called Einkorn and Emmer wheat. Part of our grapes are harvested by machine but we only pour wines harvested by hand at the fairs.
- Some are dry-farmed. Some are irrigated.
- Some are harvested manually.
- Size of their farm: 2000 (ha)
- Size of farm under vine: 73 (ha)
- Not all grapes are dry-farmed. Some are irrigated (Just new planted vineyards and vineyards which are suffering due to dry stress in rare extrem vintages).
- Not all grapes are harvested manually (Part of our grapes are harvested by machine but we only pour wines harvested by hand at the fairs.).
