The history of Tegernseerhof dates back over 1,000 years to the time when Emperor Heinrich II donated 'two hectares of land' in the Wachau to the Benedictine monastery at Tegernsee. The Tegernseerhof, named after its owner, was built on this land in 1176.
Today, many centuries later, the Tegernseerhof is owned by the sixth generation of the Mittelbach family. The name has been preserved, as has the ancient knowledge of winemaking passed down from generation to generation.
The vineyards of the Tegernseerhof are located on the best sites of the Wachau. They are characterised by steep terraces of solid primary rock, ideally situated to be caressed by the wind and warmed by the sun. As a result, the winery's Smaragd wines display an incredible density and variety of aromas. Whether Grüner Veltliner or Riesling, each wine has a distinct identity and style.
