The 2022 grape harvest is completed. It took a long time, from the beginning of September to mid-November, but with the harvest of our Trockenbeerenauslese, the last grapes are finally in the house and their juice is slowly fermenting in our cellar.

Ripe old Zweigelt wines show what they are capable of. The story is no longer entirely new, but with such aged wines, it doesn’t really matter. In the spring of 2022, Falstaff magazine tasted and evaluated old, mature vintages of the Zweigelt grape variety. For us, a Blauer Zweigelt 2002 and a Capella 2012 were part of the tasting and we are very satisfied with the ratings achieved!

Austria has had the DAC (Districtus Austriae Controllatus) system since the beginning of the millennium. Winegrowers working in a particular winegrowing region can together define which grape varieties and wine styles are characteristic for their region. This definition is then officially established by decree, and thus a DAC area is created. We can now report some news. Neusiedlersee DAC is now also available in sweet.

The web is old enough for a museum. In 1999 we started to create our first website, which was then published in 2000. Since then, the web has evolved at incredible speed, and time and again a complete overhaul has been necessary. In these days the speed of change has slowed down a bit, but still we have reached this 5th version of our website in 2020.

Same old, same old. 2022 begins with another trade fair from the home office. So last year’s photo still applies. But there is hope! Real fairs are planned, with tasting and everything!
