Zweigelt is an indigenous Austrian grape and nowadays probably the most important of all our reds. In the early 20th century, our family was among the first who planted these then new vines in Gols, the present Zweigelt capital of the world. This allows us to look back on many great vintages and gave us decades of experience with this fine grape that we are very fond of.


NEUSIEDLERSEE DAC stands for a Zweigelt that is just at home here. Soil, climate and winemaking experience together form an authentically styled, likeable-fruity wine that is characteristic for the grape as well as the Neusiedlersee growing region.

Distincitve and majestic like the stork. The stork is without question the unofficial heraldic animal of the Burgenland. Storks are an impressive sight on ground as well as in the air. Quite often they can be seen nearby while working in the vineyards. They hunt for worms and mice and because nobody would think about harming them, they have become less shy over time. It does sometimes happen that a stork lingers very close to people or machines and just minds its own business without being disturbed at all.
