The Ecker - Eckhof winery, located in the heart of Lower Austria, in Mitterstockstall in the municipality of Kirchberg am Wagram, is a third-generation family business, with the Ecker family having been active in the wine industry for over 400 years. The farm is located in the beautiful Wagram winegrowing region, on that deep layer of loess that stretches north of the Danube about 20 kilometres to the east - between Krems and Stockerau. The climatic profile of this region offers the best conditions for the Grüner and Roter Veltliner varieties. The winery currently cultivates 31 hectares of its own vineyards.
Bernhard Ecker produces 80 percent white wine from local varieties. Grüner Veltliner, which features in five different wines, and Roter Veltliner are the most important varieties in the extensive range. The winery, which has won several national and international awards, has been an integral part of the local winegrowing scene for years. Ecker wines are also becoming increasingly popular abroad. Ecker represents consistently top quality without compromise. The wines, which are appreciated by wine connoisseurs year after year, are characterised above all by clarity, finesse and longevity.
A cosy wine bar spoils guests with many traditional dishes from the region and a matching glass of wine or sparkling wine. There is also a modern tasting room where the entire range of wines can be sampled in peace and quiet by prior arrangement by telephone.
