Röschitz lies on the foothills of the Manhartsberg in the north-western Weinviertel, first mentioned in a document in 1198 under the name "Respiz" (Rebspitz). The Kölbl family has lived there since 1660, and wine growing has been part of the family tradition ever since. In 1998, the business was taken over by Johannes Kölbl and has borne the name "Respiz-Hof" ever since. The main variety is traditionally Grüner Veltliner. Particularly fruity and mineral wines thrive on the weathered granite massif and the fertile, drifting sand deposits (loess soil). The grapes are carefully processed in the cellar. The result of these efforts are elegant, fruity and fragrant wines. The Kölbl family presses wines with love and care according to their motto "Quality is never a coincidence, but the interaction of nature and man". Johannes Kölbl took second place in the Falstaff Grüner Veltliner Grand Prix with the Weinviertel DAC Himmelreich 2013 and was crowned regional winner with the Weinviertel DAC Reipersberg 2015.
