Weingut Kästenburg is a winery with deep historical roots. Built in 1638, it is one of the oldest wineries in the region, owned by the Jakopé family for nearly 120 years, now in its fifth generation. Situated at the highest point of the South Styrian Wine Route, the guest garden has absolutely beautiful panoramic view. With nine individually furnished winegrowers' rooms and apartments, the winery is managed by Ilse Jakopé, innkeeper and sommelier, and her husband and cellar master Werner Barthau, with the next generation already waiting in the wings.
In addition to classic Styrian grape varieties, red grape varieties such as Blauer Wildbacher, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir are also grown on eight hectares. Since 2017, the winery has been one of the first certified for sustainability, also cultivating 0.5 hectares of organic grapes. The winery, which has already won several awards with "SALON Austria Wine", also has a sparkling wine production. The sparkling wine is produced exclusively using the traditional method, using Riesling, Muscat or Chardonnay grape varieties. In addition to a rosé and Pinot Noir sparkling wine, the range also includes a Pet Nat.
