Höpler wine estate, placed in the small village of Breitenbrunn, in the Austrian State of Burgenland, has 46 hectares, whose 50% white wine, 45% red wine and 5% sweet wine.

The Pannonian climate, with hot summers and temperate winters, is the optimal condition to allow the growth of good quality grapes, all hand-picked. The soil, composed by different rocks such as clay, limestone and gravel, gives to wines special characteristics.

Exquisite quality of Blaufränkish, St. Laurent, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah grapes perfectly ripe with their particular flavors.

Gradual implementations of technology in the winery are determining evolution of wine production since 2005.

The property has several wine rooms: Aroma room, Treasure room, Sound room, Tasting room etc, where you have the opportunity to gradually discover the world of wine and sharpen your senses. After this unique experience you can go to the cellar and buy wines you have tasted at a completely convenient price.

The company produces world renowned wines: superb reds, fine whites and special sweet wines.

In particular, we have been fascinated by Pinot White, a light yellow wine, very juicy and mouth-filling. It has the unique flavor of the Chinese fruit lychee, mixed with ananas aroma that make it inimitable.

It suits well with white meat and Asian dishes.

The Scheiblhofer is one the largest wineries in Andau village in Burgenland, the easternmost State of Austria. In this exclusive area, where the sun shines bright, a wide range of excellent wines are produced. High temperature and rich soil are the ideal conditions for an abundant growth of exceptional ripe grapes.

The Scheiblhofer collection is very unique. They are full-bodied wines, characterized by high aroma and splendid tasting. The three most representative collections of the company are: Big John, Perfection and Jois, a singular trilogy in Burgenland.

Big Joh is the legendary pioneer red wine. It is a dense ruby red, famous for the mixture of fruit scents and delicious aroma of caramel, powerful tannin and with oak roasted flavor. Its label is inimitable; there is a great bustard in it, a representative image for Andau community, as it is the only place in the world where great bustards are native. We tasted Big John, a blend of zweigelt, cabernet sauvignon and pinot noir it and loved it immediately for its strong nose, its bold character and its long aftertaste.

Perfection collection includes Shiraz, Legends, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, all dark ruby reds, full-bodied varieties perfect to be paired with red meat.

Jois is a 30 year old vine. The typical cherry fruit with the combination of strong acidity makes the wine refreshing and explosive at the same time.

Sauvignon Blanc 2014 is produced by the well-known Weingut Aigner wine estate, placed in the Austrian city Krems. Today Wolfgang Aigner manages the company, whose tradition and values have been passed on nine generations, since the beginning of the 18th century. The company produces around 60,000 bottles of wine every year.

The winery also offers a guesthouse opened in 1999, where you can use leisure facilities, take part to winery tours, wine tastings and even watch or participate in the grape harvest.

Sauvignon Blanc 2014 is a really high quality white wine, made by the typical Aigner style. Aigner wines are strong in aroma, but also fresh and fruity, as Sauvignon Blanc. A crispy, zesty, medium-bodied white wine.

We really have appreciated its exceptional charming characteristic, flower aroma, and herbaceous tones. Its savory taste is made of medium acidity, very profound at the same time, with a great aftertaste.

Due to the wine herbal fragrances, it is ideal to join with similar green herbs, as parsley, rosemary, basil, coriander or mint. Perfect food pairings are white meats, seafood, cheese and vegetables too.

Riesling Kremstal DAC Weinzierlberg 2014 trocken is a fantastic white riesling with lemon notes, long, persistent with body and elegance. The way how this winemaker goes at work for this riesling is fantastic. You’ll be experiencing an exceptional moment while tasting this riesling.
