Philosophy
It is our enthusiasm to run a winery of a size where it is possible to design every step yourself, to create food with your own hands over a whole year, which reflects our signature in the bottle. We try to do without mechanical aids as far as possible and live viticulture as a real craft.
With courage and the freedom not to have to copy anything, we want to produce individual wines that we like to drink ourselves.
Our dream is to cultivate the relationship between soil, plants, animals and people and to produce wine of the highest quality. Biodynamic farming began the day our vineyard was planted and we are happy to say that he only knows this type of farming.
Since 2018, our winery has been the only organic and Demeter certified winery in Upper Austria.

The Vines
Our vineyard is a natural biotope, a living organism. Various grasses, flowers, herbs and also deep-rooted plants thrive next to the vines. These provide the habitat for an unbelievable variety of living beings. From microorganisms to insects to birds. Everyone has their job and entitlement. Whether beneficial or harmful, if the natural opponent is there, nature takes care of itself.
We don ́t need systemic synthetic sprays or herbicides. We achieve our approach of strengthening the vines and not fighting disease first through an ecosystem with a living, rooted soil. This regulates the water balance, ensures a variety of microorganisms an a balanced vine.
Fertilizer is made exclusively with our own compost from pomace and the manure from our donkeys and goats.

The cellar
Hand-picked and genuine, the grapes are brought to the cellar.
With the same care, winemaking is reduced to the bare essentials – accompany instead of produce! The fermentation can start spontaneously, we don ́t want to push or bend somewhere. Nothing is added or taken away, no finings – no pimping. In this way, the spectrum of aromas from the location and vintage can optimally unfold on the wine.
This is our conception of terroir: authentic, unvarnished, genuine,

Wines
The vineyard area is 2 ha and is located in Schlüßlberg near Grieskirchen (Upper Austria) in the Atschenbach valley on a southern slope with a gradient of up to 40%. Planted on sandy soil, the vines felt our biodynamic approach from the very first minute.
Very small batches are bottled from the Müller Thurgau, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Grüner Veltliner, Blauer Zweigelt and Pinot Noir varieties. There is a wide range of products every year, from relatively normal to very unusual, from clear to cloudy, with reduced sulfur content to unsulphurised and unfiltered natural wines. Our goal is to create limited and vibrant wines with personality and character. Not a mass product that was pushed in one direction – no, the wines are allowed to tell stories, their own. They should do you good, flow and satisfy you – wines for body, mind and soul!
