Rudi Hofmann is an autodidact with a high degree of ecological responsibility. His credo "The future is created in the Ried Fuchsenrand" is his concept. In research projects with national and international partners, he tries to find answers to questions about sustainability and climate change. In a new certification project, Rudi Hofmann is coming very close to his goal of making sustainability objectively assessable.
90 percent of the vineyards are planted with white wine grape varieties (50 percent Grüner Veltliner, 20 percent Riesling, 20 percent Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Chardonnay).
The two main varieties Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are marketed as Traisental DAC, while its "CMS" complements the range as a cheeky summer wine. The Fuchsenrand and Kogelberg vineyards are the heart of the winery. While the Fuchsenrand vineyard, with its shell limestone and loess soils, is home to Veltliner, the Kogelberg vineyard, with its barren conglomerate and gravel soils, is primarily home to Riesling.
The classic wines deliver clear varietal typicity, reach drinking maturity early and are the all-rounders among food companions. The power of the reserves and the finesse of the single-vineyard wines reflect the special terroir of the Traisental with its chalky soils, giving them independence and ageing potential.
