History

Centuries ago, monks living in the Wachau region began to recognize quality boundaries and drew up border lines. Not only were they motivated by the desire to make the best possible wine, they were also passionate about the variations – sometimes marked, sometimes barely noticeable – from one vineyard to the next and thus between their respective products.

 

Each of the vineyards ranged side by side in the Wachau may be described as a great soloist, and together they make up a grand orchestra.  Whether it's intuition or myth, emotion or reality, there's one thing we know: that the place, time and people have to be just right to make wine from a certain crop. And that is the fine art of wine-making.

Vineyards

The Wachau valley: an enchanting landscape, much like a huge man-made garden along the wide Danube river. Shoring up its topsoils of broken-up bedrock, weathered dry stone walls look down everywhere like the bastions of mighty fortresses, guarding the valley below. On these terraces, the Wachau wines grow: on thin soils, holding their own against encroaching forests and defying the cold that sweeps down over the rolling landscape from Bohemia to the Danube. It is here, in this marginal viticultural area, that fine wines of unique character and rare quality are made. 

 

The grapes are grown in vineyards with distinct features: sharp contrasts within small spaces, one-of-a-kind soil formations and complex microclimatic influences. These specifics of the terroir impart a unique quality to the wines. There is an enormous wealth of subtle differences between the individual vineyard sites; with names like Klaus and Achleiten, Steinriegl and Hollerin, each of them has its own fine facets and nuances, as does "Wachstum Bodenstein", a Riesling that grows at an altitude of 460 meters above sea level. While they are all typical of the Wachau, the crop of each vineyard is an individual – standing by itself, yet deeply rooted in its origins.
