The East Styrian Roman Wine Route winds its way picturesquely to Bad Waltersdorf. The many hills of the south-eastern Styrian wine-growing region are not only appealing to the eye and the mind, but also produce excellent sites for Styrian wine. Here, gently nestled between three thermal spas, lie the slopes of the 20-hectare vineyard. The lovingly renovated East Styrian square courtyard bears witness to ancient craftsmanship and architecture, carefully combined with modern design elements. A delight for all the senses and a symbol of the centuries-long history of this Styrian winery. Great attention is paid to typical Styrian style and technology is used according to the needs of the wine. Welschriesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Muskateller are matured in steel tanks with a focus on fruit. Domestic grape varieties result in a completely new complexity with modern vinification and barrique ageing. The result is white wines of great power and opulence as well as red wines full of softness and concentration. The best sites are Berner and Sonntagsberg. At six hectares, Berner is one of the largest vineyards in Vulkanland Steiermark. Sandy silt and partly gravel soils paired with a special microclimate give the grapes growing here a unique character. The ideal south-facing location produces physiologically ripe grapes every year for great wines with depth and high ageing potential. The flagship is the red wine "Legendär". Matured for 15 months in wooden barrels and made from only the best grapes of the vintage, this wine represents the power and concentration of the estate's best vineyards.
