Weingut Schweiger is situated in the village of Zöbing, in the heart of the Kamptal region. Peter Schweiger and his son Peter attach particular importance to environmentally friendly and sustainable viticulture. Both generations are particularly devoted to respecting the terrain and nature. In order to vinify great wines, two things are crucial for them: the special appreciation of nature and the prudent treatment of the vines. This awareness pervades their entire existence as winemakers and can ultimately be tasted in their excellent wines.
The grapes, which are exclusively hand-picked and selected, come from the main vineyard sites of the Kamptal: Zöbinger Heiligenstein, Kogelberg, Gaisberg, and Lamm. The labels of the wines convey the philosophy of the winery to the outside world: the compass embodies the connection with the region, and the clock stands for the intention to give the wines enough time to mature. And thus, the first wines of the past year come onto the market in April ("IV") at the earliest.
The much-loved Grüner Veltliner is vinified into eight different wines: from light and fruity to full-bodied and mineral to bold and savoury, aged in barriques. Peter Schweiger junior, born in 1996, who has been working actively since 2013, not only in terms of craftsmanship but also with new ideas, creates particularly sophisticated wines with his own "96" line, which he vinifies exclusively by himself.
