Stefan and Karin Bauer have combined past and future with imagination; in each of their wines and in the architecture of the winery. They trust in the natural advantages of the typical varieties of the region and try to achieve an unobtrusive classic style through ageing, from which the lead varieties Grüner and Roter Veltliner benefit in particular.
The Red Veltliner, the diva among the Veltliners, receives special affection at the winery, the classic variety as well as the reserve, which particularly benefits from ageing and storage in acacia barrels.
The touching straightforwardness and the complete renunciation of fashionable airs and graces characterise the winemaker and his wines. "I don't run after short-lived trends," says Stefan Bauer.
As a nod to the foresight of his grandparents Josef and Mathilde Hutzler, Stefan Bauer christened his best Grüner Veltliner "Hutzler," harvested from the oldest and best vines in the vineyards around Königsbrunn. The "Hutzler" is a multi-layered Veltliner, balanced yet youthful; its ripe and complex fruit develops all the harmonious power of the loess soils of Wagramer.
The basis of the Grüner Veltliner series is the "Wagram", followed by the two site Veltliners; Ried Bromberg and Ried Steinagrund, and as a matured variant the "Hutzler", which is available only from autumn.
