The Alphart am Mühlbach winery in Traiskirchen is a traditional family business in the heart of the Thermenregion. The wines of winemaker Lorenz Alphart have a modern, straightforward style and are characterised by refined spiciness, aromas and minerality.
The focus is clearly on the indigenous varieties Rotgipfler and Zierfandler as well as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Lorenz Alphart vinifies wines exclusively from hand-picked, perfectly grown grapes. The provenance plays a decisive role, all wines are pressed from the best vineyards in Traiskirchen, Gumpoldskirchen and Pfaffstätten.
Lorenz Alphart was an early adopter of a clearly understandable system of provenance with regional, local and vineyard wines. At the top of the list is clearly the top Rotgipfler from the well-known "Mandelhöh" vineyard, one of the best vineyards in the region on the foothills of the Anninger with its barren shell limestone soils - for the winemaker, a wine that impresses with its complexity and Burgundian finesse. This varietal rarity can also be found in his new "Pressweingarten" vineyard - the wines from these sites are now among the most exciting in the region.
Over the last ten years, the winery has established itself as a rising star in the Austrian wine scene - a clear credit to Lorenz Alphart, who is always good for a surprise with his lateral thinking, his meticulousness and his good feel for the soil and grape varieties.
