Wachau wine from 6.5 hectares

The vineyards cover 6.5 hectares in different sites and are farmed as a certified organic business. The Winzerhof is a member of Vinea Wachau and is entitled to use its categories; it also belongs to the Rupertiwinzer, a group of winegrowers from Arnsdorf.

• Steinfeder: light and lively, at most 11.5 per cent alcohol, for example as Grüner Veltliner
• Federspiel: Grüner Veltliner as Rupertiwein and from old vines
• Smaragd: from the sunniest sites, at least 13 per cent
• Also: Gelber Muskateller, red wines and a frizzante from the Rupertiwinzer

Apricots and wine shop

Wachau apricots grow on around one hectare, and the business is a member of the Verein Wachauer Marille. You can taste the wines in the wine shop, ideally by appointment. Grape juice, apricot nectar, apricot jam, apricot and Williams pear brandy are also available there, as well as magnums to pre-order. The Winzerhof also ships its wines via the online shop.

A Heuriger between vineyards and apricot trees

From the Heuriger you look out over the Danube. On the table are the estate's own wines and the house's cold specialities, from the Hauerjause to Grandma's roast pork and apricot tiramisu. In February there is a tapas winter Heuriger, in summer a pop-up Heuriger. Tuesday and Wednesday are rest days; tables can be booked online.
