The winery is located in Poysdorf in the north-east of the Weinviertel wine-growing region in Lower Austria. The first records of the history of the traditional winery can be found in 1729. Since 2001, the winery has been run by Andrea and Martin Hirtl. The vineyards cover 25 hectares in the Kirchberg, Rösselberg and Waldberg vineyards. 75% of the vineyards are planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling, Riesling,Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Gelber Muskateller, and 25% with the red wine varieties Zweigelt, Blauburger and Merlot. The vineyards are cultivated using organic methods. For pest control, for example, the confusion method is used. The quality criteria in the vineyard are yield reduction through short pruning and thinning out.
I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
