Johannes Holzer cultivates ten hectares of vineyards in the best locations in the region. Around 50 percent of his vineyards are located in the award-winning Engabrunner Stein vineyard. The different soil types - from primary rock and gravel to deep loess - offer ideal conditions for high quality and a wide range of varieties. In addition to the classic Grüner Veltliner and Riesling varieties, Frühroter Veltliner, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Zweigelt and St. Laurent also thrive to produce very fruity and multi-layered wines. The winery's main variety, Grüner Veltliner, is vinified in four different stages - from the Kamptal DAC from the Karl vineyard and the medium-bodied "Alte Rebe" from vines over 45 years old to the single-vineyard wine from the top Engabrunner Stein vineyard and the multi-award-winning "Ganztraube vom Stein".
Quality-oriented work in the vineyard based on strictly controlled cultivation with voluntary renunciation of insecticides and herbicides - his winery has also been "Nachhaltig Austria" certified since April 2021 -, strict grape selection through hand-picking and gentle grape processing with state-of-the-art cellar technology are top priorities for Johannes Holzer. Awards such as "AWC Gold", the "Circle of the Best" award and inclusion in the "SALON Austria Wine" as well as Lower Austrian regional and AWC variety awards, but also the victory at the "Kamptal Trophy" underline the high quality of his wines.
