The Adam-Lieleg winery has been run as a family business since 1893 and is located in the heart of southern Styria on the Eichberg. Florian and Mathias, the fifth generation, are now responsible for wine growing on the estate. Three generations are currently working hand in hand on a common mission, namely to produce wines with a clear profile of provenance. Harmonious, sustainable work and an understanding of how to deal with nature and its peculiarities are the cornerstones for producing wines with a strong character and maximum drinking pleasure. Of course, this can only be achieved on the steep slopes of the family vineyard with painstaking manual work. As a product of this dedication, the winery was crowned Sauvignon Blanc World Champion in 2023. Awards such as the 2024 victory at the "SALON" and the national winners in recent years confirm the quality of the wines.
The majority of the vines grow on the Eichberg and in Leutschach, where the soils are primarily characterised by gravel and opok. The majority of the grapes for the regional wines, which impress with their fruit and drinkability, come from these two local wine regions. The proximity to the Alps and the conglomerate and gravel soil are important factors that make the Eichberg local wines shine. Wines from Eichberg impress with their elegance, freshness and minerality. The estate's most important single vineyard sites are the monopole vineyards Ried Gottscheber and Ried Oberer Kranachberg as well as Ried Wurzenberg Kapelle and Ried Czamillonberg, which stand out for their individuality.
