The importance of being earnest has literally applied to Bernhard Ernst since he started in 2005. Even in the early days, he aimed to make serious and authentic wines. However, the process was more improvised and experimental in his parent's garage.
Everything has since stayed the same in his aim to make serious wines. What has changed are the circumstances: A modern new winery and a wife who "now shares his vision". Structure, order, and a touch of feminine elegance and flair were introduced. Sylvia Ernst, from Vorarlberg, decided to live in the east of Austria instead of the west and devote all her energy to this new task.
Together, the two live their daily lives as winemakers with one goal: to reflect their region in their wines. "Origin counts" is both their motto and their mission. In their three flagship site wines, the Blaufränkisch Fabian, Goldberg, and Hochberg, as well as in the two cuvées ZION and La Mission, you can clearly sense their origin - Deutschkreutz in Mittelburgenland - and their mission.
