What looks like a small mansion from the outside is in fact a large "women's house" , as well as the place of work for Birgit Eichinger and her daughter Gloria. Behind the wine is the man who created it with nature: Birgit Eichinger is a winemaker of great care, consistency and flair who at the same time is deeply rooted in her homeland, the Kamptal.
She is the epitome of highly elegant wines with a strong character. "Further development, not stagnation, individuality instead of mainstream," is her credo. All wines unmistakably bear the signature of the winemaker and that of her birthplace.
Success needs space. Therefore, since its founding in 1992, the winery has grown to 16 hectares, and that in the best Kamptal vineyards. This has also enabled terraces on the Gaisberg to be recultivated. This ambitious project covers more than three hectares of the best vineyards. In 2012, Grüner Veltliner was planted there from own selections. A new addition to the ranks of its renowned sites is the Ried Grub, which has also been planted with Grüner Veltliner since 2016.
More than 50 percent of total production is exported, which accounts for the numerous international awards. But Eichiner wines are also popular in Austria and it is hard to imagine a wine list without them.
As a member of the "Österreichische Traditionsweingüter" (Austrian traditional wineries), the classification of the first sites in the Danube region is naturally a significant event for the winegrowing duo.
Not all vines are equal and Eichinger is committed to the pursuit of quality.
