About
We are a organic family-run establishment managing a 15 ha vineyard in Tadten. Sixty percent of the acreage is accounted for by red wines, thirty-five percent by white wines, and 5 percent for natural sweet wines. Our Vineyards are located in the wine growing region of northern Burgenland in the village of Tadten, 50 miles southeast of the Austrian capital, Vienna. Exposed to an average 300 days of sunshine a year, it is by far the sunniest and warmest region in Austria. Furthermore, the local climate is influenced by the expansive water surface of Lake Neusiedl located nearby. The lake functions as a climate control mechanism, lowering temperatures in the summer, contributing to milder winters and providing even humidity all year round. We can expect Noble Rot (Botrytis) every year due to the proximity of the lake, foggy and humid mornings and sunny afternoons during the late fall. A variety of grapes can be found on the soils of northern Burgenland, namely: Zweigelt, St. Laurent, Blaufraenkisch, as well as Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Muskat-Ottonel, the latter being the historic specialty of the region. Today, the region is producing Austria's best red wines, excellent white wines and some of the best sweet wines in the world.
