The Brolli-Arkadenhof winery is hard to find, but also very hard to forget. And you shouldn't confuse it with the nearby hotel and inn run by relatives directly on the main road, as they share the same driveway. However, it is still a decisive 500 metres through the vineyards to the winery. Here you will find the high Arkadenhof wine quality of the Brolli family.
Tradition, passion, love of wine and a little more describe the renowned Brolli-Arkadenhof winery very well, which has been in existence since 1895. The winery is without doubt one of Austria's most beautiful wine estates. It is surrounded by vineyards with three mighty redwood trees and a magnificent garden near the well-known market town of Gamlitz in Austria's southernmost wine-growing region, southern Styria. The family coat of arms with the two golden lions bears witness to a long tradition and the highest art of winemaking. Today, the siblings Reinhard Brolli, master winemaker and cellarer, and Bettina Maria Brolli, graduate in tourism, run the winery together and vinify fruity DAC wines and award-winning vineyard wines. The two have set architectural accents in southern Styria with the modern new building of the remarkable winery. With the well-known Oberer Kapaun and Hoch Pössnitzberg vineyards, they cultivate large contiguous vineyards in the best locations in the Südsteirisches Weinland nature park on sun-drenched steep slopes at 400 to 500 metres above sea level.
The varieties range from Welschriesling, Pinot Blanc and Morillon to fruity Gelber Muskateller, Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer and Blau Zweigelt. The wines bear the personal signature of cellar master Reinhard Brolli. They are finely structured, characterised by deep fruit and endowed with finesse and at the same time typical southern Styrian character. The great vineyard wines show mineral elegance and uniqueness. The Brolli-Arkadenhof winery has won several international awards, making it one of the best addresses in southern Styria.
Wine shopping becomes an experience here! Guests are offered a varied wine experience and excellent tasting opportunities all year round. Bettina Maria Brolli sums it up: "Our aim is to offer a unique drinking experience that makes it worthwhile to visit us in southern Styria!" Visitors to the Brolli-Arkadenhof winery can expect pure joie de vivre in one of the most impressive locations on the South Styrian Wine Route and a view that is rarely found anywhere else.
