For Andreas and Alexander Sattler, 100% in-house production, circular economy in the old vineyards and sensitivity are the cornerstones for developing wines with a strong character and a high degree of independence. Consistency in quality and the tireless search for improvement characterize the winemaking family's craft.
Steep top vineyards with vines up to 55 years old, biodynamic cultivation, gentle pruning, uncompromising grape selection and plenty of patience and time result in long-lasting wines that have won countless national and international awards. During vinification, Andreas and Alexander strive above all to bring out the varietal aromas and clarity of the wines.
The Sauvignon Blancs and Burgundy varieties from the top vineyards in particular are regarded as Austria's first-class wine ambassadors. All the wines come from the family's own vineyards.
The Sattler family has pursued the long-standing goal of giving the local and vineyard wines in particular optimal maturation time in the cellar. For example, there are always late bottlings of Sauvignon Blanc Gamlitz in standard and magnum bottles.
With the installation of a photovoltaic system, a fully electric vineyard tractor and wood from their own forests as heating material, Andreas and Alexander are continuing to develop the winery into a sustainable farm organism. An important milestone was the conversion to biodynamic cultivation; all wines from the 2021 vintage onwards are biodynamically certified according to the guidelines of the respekt-BIODYN group.
In addition, all wines are subject to the Südsteiermark DAC pyramid and guarantee the regional origin of Südsteiermark. The pyramid is divided into regional wines, which come exclusively from the vineyards of Southern Styria, local wines from Gamlitz and Eichberg vineyards and single-vineyard wines from the top vineyards of Sernauberg, Kapellenweingarten, Alter Kranachberg, Pfarrweingarten and Trinkaus.
