Siblings Michaela and Ludwig Ehn cultivate 14 hectares of the best vineyards in Langenlois with a great passion for their craft and according to ecological principles. "As close to nature as possible, as flexible as necessary" is the credo of Ludwig Ehn, who is the fifth generation to run the family business founded in 1859 with his sister.
In order to create the ideal conditions for the best grapes with healthy soils and vines, the winery relies on pest control that is gentle on beneficial insects and naturally refrains from using insecticides and herbicides, avoids plastic and minimizes tractor journeys and emissions.
The Kamptal climate and the special soil structure pave the way for the unmistakable freshness and spiciness of Ehn wines. The range of different top sites, such as the Panzaun, Spiegel and Heiligenstein vineyards, forms the basis for the diversity of varieties. In addition to the leading varieties Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, which are bottled as Kamptal DAC, the winery is also committed to the aromatic varieties Sauvignon Blanc and Muskateller as well as the traditional Gemischter Satz.
Kamptal wines "to drink out of turn" are available at the Ehn winery. Wine is like music, say nature lovers and culture enthusiasts Michaela and Ludwig Ehn: monotony is boring. They value diversity in the vineyard and in the glass and attach great importance to individuality in the artisanal care of the individual vineyards and in vinification. "Through controlled fermentation and careful ageing and maturation phases in stainless steel or wood, we manage to preserve the character of each variety and vineyard as unadulterated as possible," says the winemaker. The expressive and well-balanced wines with great drinkability, for which the name Ehn stands, prove him right.
