At Josef Edlinger's winery, great importance is attached to sustainability. That is why the Edlinger family decided to become one of the first wineries to be certified in 2014. Josef Edlinger is meticulous when it comes to harvest selection. "We have both old family-owned vineyards and a few leased prime parcels, so it makes sense to make special wines from specially selected material." Today, Edlinger's vineyards are mainly planted with Riesling and Veltliner grapes - the two varieties that are his main focus and which account for around 70 percent of his vineyards. "We have ideal vineyards for both varieties: loess and clay soils for Grüner Veltliner, gravel and mother rock sites for our Rieslings." Despite this dominance, it should not go unmentioned that Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, among other varieties, have also made it into the Edlinger vineyards and often deliver great results.
The Edlingers in Palt are a real family business. Josef Edlinger is responsible for the vineyard and cellar work, supported by his son Paul and his wife Gabriele, who also takes care of administrative matters as well as marketing and exports. Five cosy rooms in the Winzerhof are available for guests.
