The winery is located in the municipality of Straß im Straßertale in the wine-growing region of Kamptal(Lower Austria). The estate was first mentioned in the Maria Theresian land register in 1649 and in the parish register in 1751, since which time the farm has been owned by the family. In 1885 Josef Topf married from Oberdürnbach near Maissau to Strass to the estate of the Traunfellner family. The wine was brought to the innkeepers in Vienna with the family's own horse-drawn cart. In 1929 Johann Topf I took over the estate. His successor Johann Topf II began bottling wine in 1960 and marketing it throughout Austria. Since 1990, Johann Topf III has been in charge together with his wife Magdalena. After graduating from the University of Geisenheim and the Krems School of Viticulture and Pomology, their sons Hans-Peter and Maximilian have been working in the business since 2014.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
