Sax Rudolf

Producer description of "Winzerhof Sax"

The winery is located in the municipality of Langenlois in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Kamptal. The winery is managed by Rudolf Sax, who is assisted by the twin brothers Rudolf jr. and Michael Sax. The vineyards cover 22 hectares in the Fraupoint, Liß, Panzaun, Schenkenbichl, Spiegel, Steinhaus and Steinmassl vineyards. They are planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Riesling,Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Frühroter Veltliner, as well as with the red wine varieties Zweigelt and Blauer Portugieser. Natural viticulture is practised with minimal use of pesticides. Quality criteria are consistent pruning and targeted foliage work adapted to the respective grape variety. Vinification is carried out using the latest cellar technology. The grapes are processed with extremely gentle pressing. Depending on the type, the wines are matured in stainless steel tanks, in large wooden bar rels or in barriques. The white wines mature in the bottle for a few months before being marketed. The premium wines include various Rieslings and Grüner Veltliner Kamptal DAC. Wine chocolate and apricot brandy are also produced.

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.
