Winegrowing history has been written on the Bayer family's hereditary farm in Donnerskirchen since 1735 - with full respect for nature and tradition. Sustainability is not just a trend here, but a genuine conviction. As one of the first certified sustainable wineries in Austria, the family cultivates its 20 hectares of vineyards with pure passion and a clear goal: to create wines with character.
The vineyards in the Leitha Mountains are a true gift of nature. They are characterised by shell limestone and slate, which give the wines an unmistakable minerality and spiciness. These soils produce expressive white and red wines that regularly achieve top ratings. The Bayers rely on authentic varieties that perfectly reflect their homeland: Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Muskat Ottonel and, of course, Blaufränkisch as the king of red wines. The lively, savoury red wines in particular have established the winery as a top red wine address.
Since 2023, the brothers Josef and Michael Bayer have continued to run the family winery with an even stronger focus on the Leithaberg and its unique terroir DNA. Their credo: every bottle should convey the essence of its provenance - honest, unadulterated and full of character. Or, as they put it themselves: "Our aim is to offer a unique drinking experience - one that is worth working hard for all year round!"
