The winery Alphart am Mühlbach in Traiskirchen is a traditional family business in the heart of the thermal region. The wines of winemaker Lorenz Alphart have a modern, straightforward style and are characterised by refined spiciness, aromatic interplay and minerality.
The focus is clearly on the autochthonous varieties Rotgipfler and Zierfandler as well as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Lorenz Alphart vinifies wines exclusively from hand-picked, perfectly grown grapes.
The provenance plays a decisive role and all wines are pressed from the best sites in Traiskirchen, Gumpoldskirchen and Pfaffstätten.
Lorenz Alphart relied very early on a clearly understandable system of provenance with regional, local and Rieden wines. At the top of the list is clearly the top Rotgipfler from the famous "Mandelhöh" vineyard, one of the best vineyards in the region on the foothills of the Anninger, with its barren shell limestone soils; for the winemaker, a wine that impresses with its complexity and Burgundian finesse. His new vineyard "Pressweingarten" is also home to this varietal rarity - the wines from these sites are now among the most exciting in the region.
Within the last ten years, the winery has established itself as a "rising star" on the Austrian wine scene - a clear achievement of Lorenz Alphart, who is always good for a surprise with his lateral thinking, his meticulousness and his good feeling for soil and grape varieties.
