The winery is located in the municipality of Spitz an der Donau in the wine-growing region of Wachau (Lower Austria). The family has been resident here since 1789. A hotel located in the middle of the vineyards and a wine tavern are also run. The farm is run by Karl and Elisabeth Lagler and son Karl junior. The vineyards cover 13.5 hectares in the Atzberg, Axpoint, Burgberg, Gasselreith, Hartberg, Setzberg, Steinborz, Tausendeimerberg and Vorderseiber vineyards. Around two thirds are terraced and lie on primary rock weathered soils. They are 90% planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner (40%), Riesling (25%), Gelber Muskateller, Pinot Blanc, Neuburger, Müller-Thurgau and Sauvignon Blanc, and 10% with Zweigelt.
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
