The Schreibeis winery is located at the entrance to the picturesque village of Straß im Straßertale, right at the foot of the Gaisberg. The further development of the family business is the ultimate goal of junior manager Edwin, who has been responsible for vinification there since the 2017 vintage. He strives to unite the character of the variety and location in his wines and knows perfectly how to fuse the spirit of years of tradition with his expertise and creativity. The young entrepreneur was able to acquire his repertoire of experience at a renowned biodynamic winery and during an internship in New Zealand.
Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are the main varieties with a share of 60 percent. These range from fresh and fruity terrace wines to the powerful single-vineyard wines from the Gaisberg and Offenberg. Pinot Blanc is also a tradition at Schreibeis. The medium-heavy soils of the Strasser vineyards Gautscher and Stangl and the climate of the Kamptal allow Pinot Blanc grapes to ripen, offering inspiring scope for new ideas. The variety ranges from classic steel tank ageing to ageing in small wooden barrels and mash fermentation. The warm summers of recent years have particularly influenced the quality of the red wines. Red wine fans should not miss out on the classic Zweigelt, the Zweigelt Reserve and the newly created Cuvée. Fancy more? The wines can be tasted at the winery in the Gaisbergkellergasse and purchased on site.
