The Feiler-Artinger winery is a family business with deep roots in the region and the town of Rust. In 1936, Gustav and Karoline Feiler laid the foundation stone with the purchase of the baroque town house at Hauptstraße 3. With a great deal of diligence and skill, the business grew from almost nothing into a growing and flourishing business, which already countered 18 hectares of vineyards in the 1980s. Hans Feiler was the second generation to run the business with his wife Inge and his sister Gertrude Artinger, hence the double name from 1985. Since 1994, son Kurt Feiler has also been working in the business. Together with his wife Katrin, he has been responsible for the winery since 2013.
The Feilers' thoughts and actions have always been shaped by their love of nature and its preservation and conservation. Natural cultivation of the vineyards without herbicides and pesticides has always been the standard. In 2008, the conversion to biodynamic cultivation (respekt-BIODYN) was a further step towards even more sustainability and closeness to nature. The suckler cow husbandry in the vineyard is also unique. The cows graze the vineyards in winter. They fertilise and also provide manure for their own compost as well as the biodynamic preparation "Horn-Mist".
The Feiler-Artinger winery has become world-famous for its wonderful noble sweet wines, especially the Ruster Ausbruch. But in Rust, the entire wine trilogy of white, red and sweet wines is produced, as the climatic conditions also allow for the best results with dry white and red wines. The top of the range is the Ruster Ausbruch DAC. In a great botrytis year, there will always be a trilogy of sweetness: From the excellent fruit-driven Ruster Ausbruch to the finesse-rich, elegant Ruster Ausbruch "Pinot Cuvée" and the Ruster Ausbruch "Essenz".
