Vineyard

Vineyard Site
The vineyard (Ried) Kittmannsberg is located in the west of Langenlois. It is a very deep and calcareous loess soil that shapes this vineyard terrace. The u-shaped form prevents the vines from wind which leads to a special micro climate that characterizes our Grüner Veltliner. Our vineyard is located on the top of the Kittmannsberg and is in the family’s possession for decades now.

Winery

Experience in making wine for more than a century, the excellent soil in Langenlois and various established varieties characterize our family-owned winery. Passionatly we expend a lot of effort every year to finish our wines with a personal touch, which is important to us. Working in line with nature out in the vineyards is self-evident for us. This is why we have pursued sustainable wine growing throughout decades and we had our estate certified organic in 2010.
