Doris and Leopold Sutter are already the tenth generation to run their traditional winery in Hohenwarth in the southwestern Weinviertel, where Kamptal borders with Wagram. The wines of grandfather August used to be on the best wine lists in the country. Now, there is new momentum in the business, and it won’t take long before they adorn the wine lists of the best restaurants again.
The Sutters' range of wines are as bold and strong as the walls of the winery, which were built in 1671 and lovingly restored. The focus is clearly on Grüner Veltliner, which is available in six varieties: The Weinviertel DAC is a classic regional wine, joined by site wines and a Grüner Veltliner Alte Reben (old vines). Their vines are rooted on gravel, sand, clay and calcareous gravel of the Ur-Donau and provide minerality, which show their clearly defined provenance. Three Red Veltliners, a rare variety cultivated by only a few vintners, and a Frühroter Veltliner also provide the many facets that a Veltliner can have.
