Gernot and Heike Henrich are life long innovators. Since taking over the family estate in 1985 they have constantly sought to improve and explore. Now farming biodynamically, which they see as being right for the planet and better for the wines, they were among the first to move to focus on quality and champion local grape varieties.

100% St Laurent grown on a single site in Rosenberg on an east facing slope of the Leithaberg mountain. The grapes are hand-picked, direct pressed and spontaneously fermented in stainless steel tanks before bottling three weeks later where it is allowed to referment and spends 24 months on the lees!
