Wine Description
The Eisenhut is now also home to Furmint. Probably the most northernly planted Furmint in Austria. This variiety needs special care as it is a true Diva. 2019 is the first vintage and it already shows the hot blooded hungarian origin.
Winery
We love our village of Grossriedenthal. It is the origin and the home of our wines. The surrounding countryside is our little world in which we wine growers farm various different sites. Since 1976, organic farming has been the foundation of our activities today, with biodynamic winemaking becoming part of our philosophy in 2023. We might look back, sideways, but we always keep our sights on the future. With our trust in nature, the joy we feel when working in the vineyards and the passion for making something extraordinary out of our grapes, we are creating wines that say a lot about their origins and about us. Honest, authentic and full of life.
We are a member of OETW & Respekt BIODYN.
