Domäne Wachau

If you are looking for co-operatives in Germany that can claim to have changed the world of wine, you really do have to search for a long time. In neighbouring Austria, we can find them more quickly. Today we present Domäne Wachau from neighbouring Austria.

Franz Hirtzberger Winery

The Hirtzberger family has been producing wines in Spitz in the Wachau for five generations. The Grand Cru from the Singerriedel, Hochrain and Honigvogl vineyards are among the best that Austrian viticulture has to offer.

Prager

Even the first documentary mention of the building that today belongs to the Prager Winery in Weissenkrichen refers to Riesling as a central grape variety of the Wachau - and that was in 1302: "am chling im ritzling gelegen, dem kloster michaelbeuern, gehörig, mit der schiffmühle in pertinenz ..."

Rudi Pichler Winery

The Pichler family has been growing grapes in Wösendorf in the Wachau since 1731. in 1997, Rudi Pichler (III) took over the helm of the family business, expanded the vineyards and built a new cellar in 2004, whose design presents itself "as a bridge between old building culture and functional commercial architecture".
