After taking over his parents' blending business, Johannes Autrieth devoted all his energy and ambition to building up the winery. "To achieve a goal, you can only concentrate on one thing," says the winemaker. However, he became known first and foremost for his outstanding red wines, which - when matured in barriques - impress with their skillful use of wood. Johannes Autrieth took the increasing demand for fresh, fruity white wines, and in particular the introduction of the Weinviertel DAC designation of origin, as an opportunity to catch up with the leaders in the white wine sector. Today, the 18 hectares of vineyards are already divided into 50 percent white wine, 10 percent sweet wine and 40 percent red wine. "I take great care to ensure that the right varieties are grown in the right locations in order to be able to bottle top quality and authentic wines," reports the likeable winemaker.
