The winery is located in the municipality of Feuersbrunn (Neufang 52) in the wine-growing region of Wagram(Lower Austria). It is run by Josef "Joe" and Christine Bauer, the fourth generation of the family... The vineyards cover 12 hectares of vines in the Hengstberg, Pfarrleithen, Rosenberg and Spiegel vineyards, mostly on slopes or terraces. They are planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner (50%), Riesling,Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay (85%) and with the red wine varieties Blauburger, Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (15%). In the near-natural cultivation, the resistance of the vines, the promotion of beneficial insects with the use of predatory mites and the confusion method with pheromone traps are used for plant protection, and chemical treatment is reduced to a minimum.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
