About
Organic farming.
Organic viticulture is a way for us to produce excellent wine and at the same time to constantly improve our vineyard through ecologically responsible management. We are also familiar with biodynamic cultivation. With healthy soil and healthy vines with the best grapes - perfected by minimal intervention in the cellar.
On six hectares vineyard area in the best Southern Styrian location in Austria the varieties Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Morillon (Chardonnay), Muskateller, Zweigelt and the new eco-friendly grapes (=PIWI) Muscaris, Souvignier Gris, Chardonel and others can unfold ideally.
The Future: New eco-friendly vine varieties. PIWI.
PIWIs are resistant to oidium and downy mildew, so we can largely avoid spraying. Currently, this is the most sustainable and environmentally (eco-) friendly way to produce wine. Since 2011 we have been planting the robust, innovative and high quality PIWI vines. This reduces the impact on environment and the climate, our organic vineyards have become even more ecological as a result.
“Organic and PIWI, this is the most sustainable and eco-friendly way to produce wine.”
Our wine
During vinification, with minimal intervention, we respect the slow working cycles typical of handcrafted, natural wines - "time is quality": only this way do we obtain pure wine of high quality. The wines are aged and stored on fine lees. Bottling takes place late.
