Making good wine is a way of life, as well as a fascinating task.
Every person has his or her own personality. Through the passion for wine and through a lot of feeling, you get your own signature. We want to show and maintain this in both wine and sparkling wine (the noblest form of wine). Good wines are only created through the perfect interplay of many different factors: in addition to natural influences such as soil, climate and weather, our personal experiences and ideas also flow into our wines, giving them a very special touch. We would like to briefly introduce all the people who make our wines what they are: unique and exciting.
Karl and Brigitta took over the winery from Karl’s parents in 1980. Back then it was a mixed farm with a few vineyards. Charles attended the wine-growing school and Brigitta grew up in a winery in Zöbing and knew the daily life of a family of winegrowers. Together they decided to quit farming and concentrate on winemaking.
Both soon realized that they could only score points with high quality, both in Austria and internationally. After a few trips to Champagne, they started producing sparkling wine in 1989.
Eva, Karl and Brigitta’s eldest daughter, already knew in kindergarten that she wanted to stay at the winery. She attended the Vino-HAK (a combination of viticulture school and commercial academy) and went on to study International Business Administration.
Eva has managed the winery since 2021 and is responsible for all organizational matters, sales and customers. Peter is responsible for the vineyards and the cellar, hand in hand with Karl. They live together at the winery with their sons Julian, Florian and Sebastian.
Lisa, the youngest, attended the tourism school in Krems. She then travelled to Florida, New Zealand and Australia. After working at the winery for a year, she attended the University of Applied Sciences in Geisenheim to study international wine marketing.
In 2018, Lisa married the Portuguese João Fonseca and together they developed the high-proof liqueur wine “Kraftvoll”.
Together with their children, they live in Langenlois and are constantly working on their fortified wine using the port method.
Anna, the middle of the sisters, married Martin Arndorfer. Together they run the Arndorfer winery in Strass. They live by the following motto: “In our view, wine is a craft that also leaves room for creativity, sensitivity and plenty of personality.
In some cases, the craft becomes a work of art … “We set ourselves the task of producing wines that combine origin and passion and arouse curiosity in the wider wine world.”
