The Johann Donabaum winery is one of the up-and-coming estates in the Wachau. The junior is actively supported by his parents in the cultivation of the labour-intensive mountain and terraced vineyards. The estate's single-vineyard wines - Riesling Offenberg and Setzberg as well as Grüner Veltliner Spitzer Point - can be found on the best-sorted wine lists in the country. The rare Neuburger grape is also cultivated, and the Smaragd from the Spitzer Biern vineyard is one of the outstanding representatives of this variety. The path leads over a small bridge in the Spitzer Graben to the historic estate, which dates back to the 16th century. The consistent hard work of the whole family is the basis for optimal grapes, the basis for high-quality wines that are characterised by soil, climate and the winemaker's signature. The estate's greatest success to date came in 2009 at the "Decanter World Wine Awards" in London, the largest wine competition in the world: the Riesling Smaragd Setzberg 2007 won the international Riesling trophy and was named the best Riesling over ten pounds.
