"Nature is our pacemaker, knowledge our tool." Under this motto, everything at Domaine 1196 is in a state of flux: the soil, the vines, the people - nothing remains as it was, and yet everything bears the traces of what has been. The Hoch Sernau vineyard, first mentioned in a document in 1196, was untouched for a long time. The Wolf family recognised its potential and brought this historic site back to life. Domaine 1196 is not a classic winery, but a tribute to provenances, characterised by an uncompromising vision.
The friendship and partnership between MUSTER.GAMLITZ and Domaine Wolf has laid the foundations for a new era. Today, two outstanding winemakers combine their expertise here: Reinhard Muster, a master of white wines, who gives Styrian Sauvignon Blancs an unmistakable depth, and Albert Gesellmann, one of the most renowned red winemakers in Burgenland, who brings another facet to the Domaine 1196 range with Blaufränkisch and Merlot from central Burgenland. Their wines are more than just a product: they are an expression of soil, climate and time.
Domaine 1196 is not just a winery, but rather a place where experiences are created. It is an idea that continues to grow. Here you don't think in years, but in generations. In 171 years, Ried Hoch Sernau will celebrate its 1,000th anniversary - and preparations are already underway. Because true visions do not end in the present, they shape what remains - far from trends, shaped by provenance and time. A winery that does not work for the moment, but for the future.
