Today, the life of a winemaker seems completely different compared to thirty or forty years ago. Most sales are managed digitally, communications are transmitted via smartphone, and the calendar is filled with appointments.

The only thing that makes the profession so special and so rewarding is the daily immersion in nature. Deadlines and the frantic pace lose their impact as we make our way through the rows of vines. The slow but steady development of the plants – from the bursting of the buds to the fully ripened grapes – brings a sense of calm and harmony to one's life. And in this world, each vineyard moves at its own pace: changes in weather have different effects depending on the different geology of individual vineyards, while the vegetation cycle differs according to exposure and the point of ripeness depends on the hours of sunshine – thus individual wines acquire a different character. And every year, this gradual but consistent development is again a captivating experience.

The vineyards in Carnuntum are not spread over steep slopes or nestled in dramatic geological formations, but rather are situated on the hills that an ancient sea and the winding Danube formed millions of years ago. Each of these hills has its own unique geological history, its own exposure, and thus its own distinctive taste. For many years, winemakers here focused their efforts on producing cuvées, combining wines from different soils and different grape varieties into complex works of viticultural art. But currently, there is a new trend in the region: a re-evaluation of the distinctive characters of individual hills and their expression in a pure way.
