The Gilg winery is located in Hagenbrunn just outside Vienna. Around ten hectares of vineyards are cultivated on the southern slopes of the Bisamberg. 75% of the vineyards are planted with white wine varieties, with the main focus on Grüner Veltliner, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. A new addition to the range is Gelber Traminer, the favourite variety of young winemaker Stefan Gilg. After only the fourth harvest of Gelber Traminer, he won the coveted national title.
The red wine areas are shared by the Zweigelt, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties. With the 2021 vintage, there will also be a single-varietal Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for the first time.
The winery is particularly proud of the Welschriesling Eiswein from the Hofmauer vineyard - the first ice wine ever made in Hagenbrunn. In the newly built wine cellar on Hagenbrunn's main street, the Gilg family has been able to rely on state-of-the-art cellar technology since the 2017 harvest. The new sales room is open for tasting and sales every Friday from 1 to 6 pm.
In the Heurigen restaurant at Schlossgasse 33, the Gilgs offer a traditional, Heurigen-typical buffet, seasonal delicacies and vegetarian dishes, as well as homemade pastries. All wines can also be ordered by the glass.
