The Pfeifer family business is located in picturesque St. Anna am Aigen in the Vulkanland region of Styria and is run by Daniel Pfeifer. Ten hectares of vineyards are cultivated naturally and sustainably without the use of herbicides and insecticides. The grapes are harvested by hand and the wines are produced with a special focus on the terroir.
Ried Schemming, where the winery is located, is one of the most exciting sites in Styria. In terms of climate, St. Anna is considered the coolest municipality in the region compared to other places in Vulkanland. The soils are characterised by clay, sandstone, calcareous marine sediments from the primeval sea and volcanic rock (basalt). The volcanic soils are due to the Stradener Kogel, an extinct volcano that towers over the vines as the highest elevation in the volcanic region. These soils bring savouriness to the wine, while the shell limestone provides fruit and elegance.
