Winery
In 2005 Alexander Zöller staked everything on one card and acquired half an acre of vineyards in Lower Austria’s Krems valley. Over the years other plots were added and today he owns 7 hectares of vineyards which are cultivated organically. Emphasis lies on the detailled representation of the terroir and the different grape varieties. Gruner Veltliner sets the tone, Riesling, Roter Veltliner and Zweigelt complete the varietial range. They all share a carefully considered and deliberate vinification which represents the vintage without embellishment. Rough edges and individual expressions are gladly accepted.
