Langenlois Wine Champions
The tasting of the "Langenlois Wine Champions" has developed to an integral part of the Langenlois wine culture in the past years. All wineries from the large municipality of Langenlois are entitled to submit their wines to the tastings in spring and in autumn. The lighter wines belonging to the Kamptal and the Village - appellation usually are tasted in spring, whereas the single vineyard wines and the Burgundian varieties are tasted in autumn. In the course of these blind tastings the best wines from Langenlois get determined and honoured.
We are really glad that we achieved a couple of top rankings this year:
- 1st rank in the category Grüner Veltliner Kamptal DAC:
GV Kampl, Kamptal DAC 2021
- 2nd rank in the category Burgundian varieties:
Chardonnay Barrique Ried Spiegel 2020
- 3rd rank in the category Riesling single vineyard:
Riesling Ried Haid Kamptal DAC Reserve 2021
- Finalists: Rosé Kampl 2021
Gelber Muskateller Ried Spiegel 2021
GV Ried Geppling Alte Reben Kamptal DAC Reserve 2021

The vintage 2020 is ready for Eastern!
The majority of the whites of the vintage 2020 is bottled 🙌 These wines are ready for sale from now on 🥂
What can you expect from the vintage 2020? We would call it a typical Austrian cool-climate vintage. The vintage 2020 was cooler than the previous two vintages. Thus, the ripeness of the grapes was reached a little bit later. So the grapes already enjoyed the cold nights of autumn, which led to the development of distinctive aromatics, moderate alcohol levels and an extraordinary freshness. Preferably you make yourself your own impression of the new vintage.
We wish you a happy Eastern 🐰🙂

Tasting notes: Green apple, appealing bouquet, little bit of citrus fruits, tender spicy aroma, light, fresh, animating, a versatile food accompaniment

Kamptal Wine Trophy winner
Last Thursday we enjoyed a great evening in the "Färberstubn": in the course of the Kamptal Wine Trophy a four-course meal accompanied by the best wines of the Kamptal was served. 🥂🍽 We are glad to announce that we are the winners of the category "Grüner Veltliner Reserve 2018" with our GV Ried Geppling, Alte Reben 2018.

Final days of the harvest
End of the harvest of our last white grapes. On the picture you can see a Riesling grape from our single vineyard "Ried Haide". The variety Riesling has benefitted tremendously from the dry and windy days in autumn. The few berries which had little damages in their skins have started to shrink (see picture 🧐). This leads to a concentration of the aroma in the berries. We are looking forward to a great Riesling Reserve 2019. 👌

We are a "sustainable winery"
We have passed a 2-step-process whereby we underwent an audit executed by an external control authority. The result of the audit was positive, so we are entitled to use the seal of approval "certified sustainable Austria". As some of maybe still don't know what this seal of approval means to our wine production process we provide you a short explanation:
"Sustainable Austria" is a seal of approval for sustainably produced wines. These wines are produced with respect to various ecological, economical and social criteria and these criteria are rigorously checked by an external control authority. The assessment process starts with the harvest of the grapes, continues with the processing of the grapes in the cellar and even takes the bottling process into account. This means, that the whole production process gets examined concerning its sustainability. Responsible utilization of water, energy, chemical fertilizers and efficient deployment of machines have positive influence regarding the rating as well as fair labour conditions and sustainable, economical actions. Only if all requirements are fulfilled by the winery, the winemaker is authorized to use the seal of approval "certified sustainable Austria". (Source: http://www.nachhaltigaustria.at)

Vinaria: Sauvignon Blanc Premium
Whenever you think about Styrian wine, you inevitably also think of great Sauvignon Blanc. The Vinaria wine magazine recently organized a Sauvignon Blanc Premium tasting, which proved, that you can also make marvellous Sauvignon Blancs in Lower Austria. Our Sauvignon Blanc Ried Spiegel of the vintage 2016 achieved a gorgeous rating and was selected as one of the "Best Buy" wines. "Best Buy" means that the wine offers a great quality-price ratio. In light of the strong Styrian competition we are very proud about the result.
Vinaria tasting notes:
"Green asparragus, freshly mowed grass, tender fruit aroma, plenty of stone fruit on the palate, fruity, creamy structure, lots of substance, less obvious variety than in the nose."
24.07.2017
We already are in the midst of the preparations for the vintage 2017:
During these very dry summer months it is important to reduce the quantity of grapes in order to alleviate the stress for the vines. We even split the grapes of the varieties Sankt Laurent and Weißburgunder as they are less resistant to Botryitis in the case of high humidity during the harvesting season. As a result of splitting the grapes, the single berries have more space on the grape and do not burst so early. So we hope we will be able to leave them longer on the vines.

26.09.2016
We started the harvest last week with Müller Thurgau, Gelber Muskateller and Zweigelt Rosé. Now we continue with the Grüner Veltliner. We are curious about the wines of the vintage 2016. The quality of the grapes is indicative of a great vintage.

19.08.2016
From now on we have 2 new specialties in our wine assortment: the Riesling Hofstatt 2015 and the Chardonnay Barrique 2015!
Especially the Chardonnay Barrique 2015 brings us lots of joy as this wine sank into oblivion during the last years. The year 2015 offered perfect conditions for this wine: The Chardonnay-grapes were harvested at the beginning of November with 21° KMW. Subsequently the wine was fermented in the Barrique barrel and no sulfur was added during the first 3 months. During these 3 months we untertook Battonage almost daily to enhance the body and structure of this wine. Afterwards the wine had additional 3 months time to age with the entire amount of the yeast. We are already curious about your impressions regarding the new wines!

Return of the pomace to the vineyards:
We spread the pomace (skins, seeds) after the pressing-process of the grapes as a natural fertilizer in our vineyards. Nitrogen and other nutrients are released in the course of the biologic decomposition. The nitrogen and the other nutrients are necessary for the vines for growth in spring. On the following two pictures you can see the distribution of the pomace in our young vineyards.
27.08.2014
