The winery is located in the municipality of Gols in the Burgenland wine-growing region of Neusiedlersee (Austria). It was built by the Schmelzer family. In 1994, Lorenz Schmelzer III handed over the business to his niece Elisabeth Rommer (née Nittnaus), which she runs as cellar master together with her husband Michael (responsible for the vineyards). In 1995, the Nittnaus family inherited some important and valuable vineyards and farmland. The vineyards comprise almost nine hectares of vineyards in the areas Altenberg, Baumgarten, Edelgründe, Goldberg, Heideboden, Hintenäußer Äcker, Hochäcker, Lange Satz, Schmalgründe, Ungerberg, Wiesäcker and Zwickeläcker. They are planted with 80% of the red wine varieties Zweigelt, Pinot Noir, St. Laurent, Pinot Noir, Blauburgunder, Blaufränkisch, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% of the white wine varieties Rheinriesling, Chardonnay, Welschriesling, Muscat Ottonell, Neuburger and Weißburgunder. The cellar located under the Streckhof was expanded in 1960; all large wooden barrels and the barriques are located here. Among the premium wines are the cuvées Lanz Rot (St. Laurent, Zweigelt, CS), Cuvée E.M. (Blaufränkisch, Merlot, CS) and Lanz Weiß (Chardonnay, Neuburger), as well as St. Laurent P.R. and Zweigelt P.R. A bottle-fermented sparkling wine made from Riesling is also produced. About 30,000 bottles of wine are produced annually.
