The vineyards comprise ten hectares of vineyards, which are exclusively planted with white wine varieties. These are Chardonnay, Welschriesling, Muskat-Ottonel, Neuburger, Pinot Gris and Bouvier.

The flagship of the house is the "Chardonnay Tiglat", vinified since 1990, which undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged in French barriques. The name is a dialectal expression for fat, teal-bearing rock. Further premium wines are "Chardonnay Darscho" and the cuvée "TO" (ung. for lake) from the varieties Chardonnay, Welschriesling and Sauvignon Blanc. About 50,000 bottles of wine are produced annually. The winery is a member of the winegrowers' association .

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
