Winery
As residents of Burgenland in the far east of Austria and as winemakers in Gols, we find ourselves in a multiply fortunate position. Because the Pannonian climate at Lake Neusiedl is not only beneficial and wonderful to live in, but also perfectly predestined for viticulture. The same applies to the diverse soils. This obliges us to produce wines of the highest quality. Starting with the 2013 vintage, all of our winery wines will be organic or biodynamic. In addition, Gols, where our family has been producing wine since 1684, is also a little away from the hustle and bustle of the city. That's why we have the peace and patience here to focus on what matters most. To produce distinctive, timeless, enduring wines from local varieties that will stay with you for a lifetime.
