Located on the right bank of the river Danube, is Hollenburg, the southernmost district of Krems, also called Austria’s white wine capital. Our winery is situated within this historical region of the Kremstal, where viticulture was practiced evidently 400 years A.D. by the Romans. The love for wine is deeply rooted in our family for far over a century, and since 1868 the winery is family – owned. Quality grows outside in the vineyards, where the soils are dominated by loess and supplemented by conglomerate and gravel. The warm Pannonian climate form the east meets the Continental influenced climate of the higher situated Waldviertel. This results in extreme temperature differences between day and night, which has intense positive effect on the formation of flavour.
