Something new!

Saturday, December 12, 2015

Sämling 2015 in a semi-sweet style. Something new from the Sonnenmulde Winery? Well it is, but not completely - because we have valued Sämling grapes highly for a long time.

Time for an update. The week was full of work and that’s why the news arrive a bit late. But we have finished this year’s harvest. On tuesday we picked the last grapes of the vintage which are now already fermenting and turning into an excellent Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA).

Waiting for Dessert

Saturday, October 24, 2015

Two rows of high trellis vines covered on the lower 60 cm with fine meshed plastic nets. — Bird-nets to protect our precious grapes.

A fine meal is hopefully followed by a dessert. Just as we are now hoping to pick some great dessert wines after the main harvest has been finished. We’re planning to conclude the season with Icewine and Trockenbeerenauslese to be specific. We have not tried to do both of thes super-sweet dessert wines in the same year for decades, but after this awesome vintage we think there is a great opportunity.

The Harvest 2015

Saturday, October 24, 2015

The 2015 harvst is almost over but not completely yet. Looking back it was just great, awesome qualities, nice yield and we could not have wished for any better weather.

Harvest Preparations

Friday, September 4, 2015

Our Grape Juice has been harvested and all preparations for the upcoming harvest are in full swing. Since there is Dornbirn Autumn Fair next week, we have to juggle our work a bit but we will also start harvesting.

Organic Grape Juice

This year’s organic grape juice has arrived. We just harvested the first grapes of the vintage, crushed, pressed and bottled them as grape juice. Ready for tasting everyone?

Thinning the Grapes

It’s summer and in only a few weeks time we’ll be thinking about the harvest already. There’s only one very important task left to do in the vineyards. Thinning the grapes!

Spritzer

Tuesday, July 7, 2015

A glass white Spritzer after work on this year’s hottest day yet. 37° C in the shadow made us really looking forward to the predicted wheater change tomorrow. At “only” 30° C we’re almost thinking of breaking out gloves and bobble caps. Anyway, a light Summer-Spritzer is never a bad idea at this hot time of the year. We’re drinking Grüner Veltliner Heideboden 2014, but Riesling or Rosé would be just as good.Read more »

Grand opening at our Winery. For two years we have planned, renovated, built, furnished and at last decorated everything. Now it is done. At Saturday, June 27th and Sunday, June 28th we’re finally opening our winery. The opening ceremonies will start on Saturday at 14:00h but all weekend we’ll offer tastings, tours through the winery and vineyards as well as a great time for coming together.

Thursday, June 18, 2015

The results of the 2015 International Orcanic Wine Awards have just arrived and our wines did not only score well but got rather excellent ratings this year!

Red-Gold in the spring

Friday, May 22, 2015

A corn poppy field. — A red sea of poppies.

In Spring not only the vines start to blossom (they need a few more weeks anyway), a lot of different plants show their colours too. Walking around with an open eye one can quickly discover all colours neede for our Burgenland state flag. Red-Gold, or Red-Yellow is not that hard to find to be honest. But it is beautiful none the less!

All new Vinotheque

Monday, March 9, 2015

Bottles with old labels on a table in front of the vinotheque's shelves. — Old treasures from the vintage 1981.

Our big rebuilding and renovation project is slowly coming to an end, finally. Following many months of busy work only the last steps are left and one can increasingly see the results. May we present - Our all new Vinothque, vault and storage for our special bottle reserves.

Winter sleep away

In case any remaints of winter sleep have been stuck in the bones still, that’s finally over now. Gorgeous weather! So we took the chance to work outside in the vineyard next to our vinery.

Just bottled

Thursday, February 12, 2015

On a table there are two wine bottles, one of them open. Next to it a slightly filled glass and a vase with decoration. In the background are graphics with a ground squirrel and a lizard on the wall. — Young 2014s.

The 2014 Young Wines have been bottled for a while now and it’s time for the other whites to follow. Theyre now just bottled and will be available soon! Of course we had to taste them immediatly.
