The Eichberger family winery is located ten kilometres north of Vienna on the edge of the Marchfeld and at the beginning of the Weinviertel hills. The vineyards are located next to the home village of Eibesbrunn and on a small hill in Putzing - both small villages with more vines than inhabitants. Due to the two very contrasting locations, the family can show the special features of the individual sites and the influence of the respective microclimates in their wines.
The family business works across generations and therefore acts sustainably and with foresight. They philosophize about soil, life and manual work and place these three pillars at the heart of their daily activities.
The most important resource that connects countless generations is the vital soil. In every vineyard, colorful flowering plants grow all year round to provide a real oasis of well-being for microorganisms and animal co-inhabitants. Their greening thus ensures an active soil and a harmonious coexistence of many different creatures. Herbicides and insecticides have no place at the Eichberger winery.
The vineyards are still cultivated by hand. Pruning, foliage work, grape reduction and harvesting are the most important work steps. This enables the Eichberger family to guarantee consistent quality and consciously recognise the special features of each row of vines.
Their aim is to show the world the treasures of the southern Weinviertel and to bring wines that are typical of their provenance and fun to drink. But they don't want to stand still: every year there is a new experiment and quite a few further developments. In recent months, for example, they have put their own PV system into operation and officially started the conversion phase to organic, as well as launching new cellar treasures. In addition to daughter Julia, son Marcus has recently joined the family winery.
