The Upper Austrian winegrower Wolfgang Költringer has revived an age-old tradition in Weilbach. Wine was already being produced on a large scale in the Innviertel in the Middle Ages. The first vines were planted again in 2003 and the first white wine was pressed in 2006. Fresh, fruity white, rosé and red wines are cultivated in Weilbach in the Innviertel on sandy loam with loess content. Leaf work and strong reduction produce very good qualities. And the wine names such as "weddlina", "schadonee" or "neidoafoans", which come from the Innviertel artist Hans Kumpfmüller, round off the overall picture. The range of varieties includes Rivaner, Grüner Veltliner, Chardonnay, Muskateller, rosé from Zweigelt and red wine from Blauburger and Zweigelt. Fine brandies and juices are also produced with much love and care. Tastings and guided tours of the vineyard are offered at the farm. There is room for up to 60 people in the 190-year-old Bohemian vault. Regional specialties such as Innviertler Surspeck and other suitable dishes such as regional trout are served. The wines are available from the farm and in selected wine shops, restaurants and specialty stores.
