Weingut.Heuriger.Gästehaus Hannes Hofer

Weingut Hannes Hofer at Neustiftgasse 4 in Gumpoldskirchen is an organic winery with a Heuriger and its own guesthouse, specialising in Rotgipfler and Zierfandler. It is open (in season) several times a year; wine is available from the farm after a quick phone call and in the online shop.

Rotgipfler, Zierfandler and organic

Hannes Hofer took over the winery from his father Franz in 2012 and cultivates around 9 hectares around Gumpoldskirchen, for example in the Stocknarrn and Kreuzweingarten vineyards. The conversion was completed with the 2020 harvest, and the business has been certified organic since January 2022. Herbs and flowering plants are sown between the rows of vines, and fertilising is done with their own compost made from horse manure and pomace.

• Fresh and fruity: light, lively and sparkling wines
• Full-bodied: varietally typical, fruit-driven wines to go with food
• Single-vineyard wines: Zierfandler and Rotgipfler as single varieties or as a Cuvée Spätrot-Rotgipfler, some aged in wood
• Sweet: medium-sweet and sweet wines

The buffet mainly offers cold dishes, plus freshly roasted meats and fresh salads, with home-made items and products from Austria. On open days it is open from 15:00 on weekdays and from 11:00 on Sundays and public holidays; the buffet runs until 21:00 at the latest. The annual calendar with all dates can be downloaded from the website. The winery also serves its wine at the Offene Kellertür and at the farmers' market in Gumpoldskirchen.
