From Rustland with love. The small town at lake Neusiedl in Burgenland is a true gem. It’s houses and the surrounding vineyards and it’s people makes it truly a special place. #places #austria #visitaustria #burgenland #traveltip

Ran across this little fellow in one of our vineyards earlier today. Revisited the site with a better camera and found the young owl again. #owl #birdlife #photography

Today we finished bringing out the biological deterrants against the vine moth. All growers in Rust are doing this since more than 20 years so we aren‘t reliant on any insecticides for our grape production! #organic #viticulture #winemaking

Spot the difference - or the thing that makes us different.We produce most of our marketing material in house. These are now our hip stickers and glass coasters designed after the idea of the "spot it!" game. Small edition. #dontpanicitsorganic

Ironically as we closed down most of instagram content we share - we posted a video that was relatively unspectacular from pruning (also on here in my profile). This video got into a heavy rotation on instagram (20k+ views) and we finally managed to break 1k Followers - woohoo. But ... 1/4

Currently pruning our
Sauvignon Blanc vines in the Ludmaisch vineyard. We mostly go for a relatively low yield and early harvest with this site that hosts a soil composition of loess on a base of volcanic rocks. Quite interesting to work with such a place. #sauvignon #viticulture #wine

Sunny Day pruning some old vines. This time our Grauburgunder / Pinot Grrrrrrris. #pinotlover #burgunderland #austrianwine #winegrower Heavily edited to make my face look less pale (i slept very little tonight)

Our Plachen Parcel planted 1970 is now registered in the "Old Vine Registry". The grapes we pick from here went into our "Auf der Mauer" Pinot Blanc and "Alte Reben" wines. #wine #oldvine www.oldvineregistry.org/vineyard?id=...

What is ‘biochar’ and how can it help us mitigate climate change?: While efforts to tackle global warming and atmospheric carbon have taken various forms, biochar stands out for its dual benefits.

#Vogelsang, meaning "Birdsong," is a common vineyard name in #Austria, often linked to top-quality #wines. Could the rich #biodiversity in these sites be the secret? Our answer is a clear: yes! #viticulture #vigneron #picture #birdlife

Hopefully last day of Fog today for a few weeks. #photography #fog #winemaking #viticulture #vigneron

Some Vogelsang Pruning Impressions. This around 0,4 hectar plot of ours is the source of one of our oldest single vineyard #welschriesling wines - notably also the back side of the vineyard with #blaufränkisch #photography #wine #landscapes just taken with iphone while working tho.

My approach for yesterdays tasting for the mw diploma students. Everything #Welschriesling and a fcking #Merlot - about the versatility and underratedness of a ubiquitous but disregarded Variety in #austria. (Typo with the RS on the Merlot - it’s just 1g Sugar not 300ish)
