Winzerhof Erber at Unterer Markt 10 in Oberwölbling is a family winery in the Traisental with a Top-Heuriger whose meat comes from its own farm. Martina Hromatka-Erber has run the business since 2003; the cellar master is her husband Jochen Hromatka, who shapes the vintages together with their daughter Sophie.
Many vineyards lie right on the edge of the Dunkelsteinerwald, whose cool nights bring fresh aromas. Around 65 per cent of the area is planted with Grüner Veltliner, which is made in eight different styles – from fresh and fruity to full-bodied.
The business has held the Top-Heuriger award since 2007. Cured ham, smoked meat and roast pork come from Duroc pigs from the family's Reiserhof in Grunddorf in the Tullnerfeld, the game from the Dunkelsteinerwald. The home-baked farmhouse bread and Oma Christl's poppy-seed and walnut strudel have a cult following.
Jochen Hromatka runs the farm in the eighth generation, 22 kilometres from the winery. Grain, maize and soya grow there; fruit from traditional orchards becomes cloudy apple juice, and the cornelian cherries become jam. It is open (in season) several times a year, then daily from the afternoon; the dates are on the website.
