Matthias Reckendorfer from Ollersdorf is an enthusiastic young winemaker and is well on the way to establishing himself in the Austrian wine scene with his wines. He was already able to hint at this in the great Falstaff voting for the most popular young winemaker, in which he took first place in Lower Austria. After graduating from the Klosterneuburg School of Viticulture and Pomology and completing valuable internships at home and abroad, such as in New Zealand and Germany, he took over the up-and-coming winery at the age of just 20.
Matthias Reckendorfer's philosophy follows the theme of "music on the palate," which is immediately apparent from the labels with their colourful soundtracks. Here, the Emperor Waltz by Johann Strauss Son is pictured. His first individual compositions were created in 2018 and bear the names "Asparagus Philharmonic" (Pinot Blanc) and "Papagena" (Muscat). In addition, there is the large project "Sekt Maestoso", which Matthias Reckendorfer started in 2018. This comprises a multi-layered Blanc de Blancs, which is allowed to mature on its lees for over 25 months and is produced hand-riddled using traditional bottle fermentation.
Working in and with nature plays a particularly important role for the young winemaker. For this reason, his farm has been in conversion to organic farming since August 2021. Incidentally, the Reckendorfer winery is located where the fields of Marchfeld, famous worldwide for asparagus, end and the sweeping hills of the Weinviertel begin: in Ollersdorf in the Weinviertel.
