Johannes Trapl is a purist that aspires to reveal the true, authentic essence of the Carnuntum region in his wines. His vineyards have been certified organic since 2010. The recent Demeter certification speaks volumes: Biodynamic agriculture is the key to the essence of the vine, its rhythm and the interrelationships in the natural cycle.
With perseverance and precision, Johannes Trapl has worked his way into the first rank of Carnuntum winemakers.
He takes on the challenge for Zweigelt and St. Laurent on the gravel and loam dominated slopes of the Arbesthaler Hills. The Spitzerberg, which belongs geographically to the Hainburg Mountains, allows him the possibility to vinify a very unique varietal Blaufränkisch that reflects its origin in meagre schist rock. Johannes Trapl summarises his credo, “I want to feel the diversity, finesse and power of our vineyards and bring a maximum of this into the wines without sacrificing drinking pleasure.”
