The Feiler-Artinger Winery was founded in Rust in the early 1900s by Gustav and Caroline Feiler. After World War II, they were the first to restart the tradition of harvesting grapes affected by noble rot for the production of Ausbruch. In 1955, Gustav's son Hans became actively involved, and from 1994,
the third generation, Hans's eldest son, Kurt, joined the ranks. Their work has not gone unnoticed; in 1999, Hans and Kurt were jointly declared "Late Harvest Winemakers" at a wine competition in London, and Robert Parker Jr. rated the winery as one of the best Austrian producers (giving it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars).
The winery has 64 acres, from which it produces 30% white, 55% red, and 15% sweet wines annually. All wines are certified biodynamic according to "Respekt-Biodyn" standards.
Since 2014, three cows help to mow the green cover crop between the rows during winter. The town of Rust is perhaps best known for its world-class wines, late harvests, which are a specialty there, also known as Ruster Ausbruch. "Ruster" means it's from this town, and "Ausbruch" refers to the method of picking the most perfectly raisined and fermented "grapes."
