Few winegrowing families demonstrate how to successfully lead a small family winery into the modern age without throwing tradition and reverence for the precious land they work overboard as impressively as the "Wells", who thus fulfill Neckenmarkt's fundamental values. Since taking over from their parents and grandparents, they have carefully expanded the winery and at the same time committed themselves to a philosophy based on allowing the valuable mica schist, granite gneiss, barren limestone soils and clay to shape the wine. Organic farming (certification completed) and a clear commitment to restraint in the cellar are a fundamental element of Wellanschitz wines. The vineyards are located at the last foothills of the Alps, in the Ödenburger Gebirge, directly on the border with Hungary. The high-altitude vineyards (up to 480 meters above sea level) are a special feature of central Burgenland and enable the development of complex wines.
With their extensive Blaufränkisch range, which plays a central role for the Wellanschitz family, they highlight the differences between the individual vineyards of Mittelburgenland and thus make a valuable contribution to preserving the Blaufränkisch tradition in the region. The Wellanschitz winery is known for its single-vineyard Blaufränkisch wines from Hochberg, Sonnensteig, Hussi and Alter Weingebirge, as well as for the Blaufränkisch Well Alte Reben from the family's oldest vineyard. The Rüsselgrund vineyard guarantees highly mature Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Cuvée Fraternitas celebrates the collaboration between the two Wellanschitz brothers Stefan Paul and Georg.
