Josef "Pepi" Piriwe combines tradition and a spirit of innovation at his winery in the Thermenregion. With great care in the vineyard and precise work in the cellar, he produces wines with a clear origin and characterful style. The focus is on Chardonnay and the typical regional varieties Rotgipfler and Zierfandler, complemented by Pinot Noir and expressive red cuvées.
Special attention is paid to Pinot Noir: Piriwe uses barrels made from Viennese oak, which were developed together with a cooper and give the wines a unique, aromatic signature. The Pinot Noir line "PI" is only bottled in outstanding vintages.
Since the 1990s, noble sweet Prädikat wines from Rotgipfler and Zierfandler have also been attracting attention. With the switch to organic farming, the winery has expanded its profile to include orange wines and low-sulphur natural wines such as "ansa", "zwara", "dreia" and "viera". Tastings are possible in the vinotheque and at the wine tavern, which is open several times a year.
