Weingut Artner

The history of Weingut Artner estate dates back to the 1650s. Their ancestors had already recognised the region's potential for viticulture. Since the 1980s, the family has increasingly focused on producing wines of character and distinction on what was once a mixed farming estate. Höflein is located in the Carnuntum wine region, which stretches east of Vienna and south of the Danube to the Slovakian border. The area is characterised by rich loess and limestone soils. The Pannonian climate and the cooling influence of the Danube provide ideal conditions for growing grapes. Since the winery became a member of Traditionsweingüter Österreich in 2018, the issue of origin has become even more important in the work undertaken in the vineyards. The members of the association see it as their duty to express the characteristics of their region's soil, climate, grape varieties and respective wineries. The Artner family is made up of three generations: Hannes Artner, who took over the business from his father and was the creative force behind the company's early focus on quality; his son Peter, who is cellar master and brings all his knowledge and passion to the wines; and Hannes' brother Christoph, who is responsible for international sales and administration. They work in harmony as a team on all fronts - and at the end of the day, they all share the belief that they should always maintain their own high standards of quality. They now cultivate 40 hectares of vineyards and have been certified as an organic winery since the 2021 vintage.
