The winery is located in the municipality of Arbesthal in the Carnuntum wine-growing region of Lower Austria. It has been run by the Ott family for several generations. The cellar dates back to the 17th century. The vineyards cover eight hectares of vines in the Altenberg, Gabler, Goldberg, Juppen, Hagelsberg, Kräften and Stuhlwerker vineyards. Half of the vineyards are planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Chardonnay and Welschriesling, and half with the red wine varieties Zweigelt, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah and Blauer Portugieser. The premium wines of the house include Blauer Zweigelt-Rubin Carnuntum, the red wine cuvée "Pas de deux" (Zweigelt, Pinot Noir), Merlot Reserve, Grüner Veltliner and Chardonnay. Sweet wines, brandies and bottle-fermented sparkling wine are also produced.
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.
