The winery

The vineyards cover around 7 hectares in the Kremstal, including the Rohrendorf vineyard sites Gebling and Windleiten. The vines mostly grow on loess, and in the Ried Gebling on lime-rich, gravelly conglomerate. Markus Oßberger relies on yield restriction and near-natural cultivation, and his father Leopold helps in the vineyard. The wines are sold almost exclusively by the winery itself, to private customers and to restaurants in Austria and southern Germany.

What goes into the glass

• Grüner Veltliner: Kremstal DAC Löss and Alte Reben (vines over 30 years old), plus the Jakobus and a litre bottle of Veltliner.
