The family winery is located in Bruck an der Leitha, the geographical center of the Carnuntum wine-growing region. In addition to the winery, the family also runs a wine tavern, which is extremely popular with guests and friends not only locally, but also far beyond the borders of the Carnuntum wine-growing region. The winery's white wine varieties mainly grow around Bruck an der Leitha. The chalky soils of the Leitha Mountains offer Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Welschriesling and especially Grüner Veltliner ideal conditions for the development of fruit and elegance. More than half of the twelve-hectare vineyard is planted with red wine vines, all of which are located in Prellenkirchen on the Spitzerberg, twenty kilometers from the winery. This eastern part of the Carnuntum wine-growing region was and still is known for its excellent Blaufränkisch wines. Willi Schenzel was one of the first winegrowers to recognize the outstanding potential of this area and take it on. The potential of these sites became clear. With excellent support from the climate and soil, mainly red wines are produced here from the Blaufränkisch variety typical of the region, but the quality of Zweigelt and international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot is also evident. The winery places particular emphasis on the purity of the red wines. Corresponding representatives of Blaufränkisch are the "Oktavius" and the "Reserve", the Zweigelt is vinified as "Xxenia" and the Cabernet Sauvignon as "Don Carlos".
