The winery is located in the municipality of Königsbrunn in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Wagram. The traditional family has been growing grapes here for over 100 years. Today, Franz Bayer is the 5th generation to run the business. The vineyards cover 26 hectares in the vineyards Berg, Bromberg, Gänsacker, Hochrain, Leihen, Mitterberg and Rainthal. They are planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Roter Veltliner, Frühroter Veltliner, Chardonnay, Gelber and Roter Muskateller, Sylvaner, Rivaner (Müller-Thurgau), Sauvignon Blanc, Welschriesling, Riesling and Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc), as well as with the red wine varieties Zweigelt, Blauburger, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Blauer Portugieser, Roesler and St. Laurent. In addition, a Gemischter Satz is also cultivated, from which the wine "da Franz'l" is pressed.
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
