Step by step, Kurt and Beatrix Hummel have turned their small winery into a top business. Small and fine - the two words rarely fit as well as they do here. The family works with foresight, honesty and personal commitment and ensures pure drinking pleasure, especially for Veltliner lovers - also with the new Reserve line. The Hummel winery scored a huge success at the SALON 2022, as it shone with the "Grüner Veltliner Hummlisch 2021" and was crowned Salon winner!
The three hectares of vineyards have now grown to nine - large enough to make the winery a top operation and small enough to be able to consistently continue the family's tradition and recipe for success. The humus-rich loess soils around the tranquil Niederschleinz, together with the Pannonian climate, offer perfect conditions for this.
Around 70 percent of the vineyard area - the rest is shared by Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Gelber Muskateller and Zweigelt - is used to grow great Veltliners, which Kurt Hummel bottles in five different stages of development: "From light, spicy and peppery to rich, full-bodied and powerful - every Veltliner lover will find their wine here!"
Kurt Hummel has probably passed on his flair for wine within the family. Daughter Laura graduated from the HBLA for viticulture and fruit growing in Klosterneuburg and did an internship abroad at a winery in Sonoma County, California, in the summer of 2022. She now works full-time in the business and contributes all her ideas and experience. She has already left her first mark on her parents' business, as the "BIG FLIGHT Reserve" line is her creation. Laura is also the current "Lower Austrian Wine Queen" and therefore an ambassador for Lower Austrian wine and Lower Austrian winegrowers. From the end of August 2025, she will take on the role of "Austrian Wine Queen".
