The upper part of the Lange Ohn vineyard in Neusiedl provides the chalky base for HP Harrer's Blaufränkisch, which is characterised by cool westerly winds. The rest is made up of small, healthy berries and a precise winemaker's signature, which can be roughly summarised under the keywords: biodyn...

HP Harrer's small winery in Neusiedl and Silvio Messana's Azienda Montesecondo in San Casciano may be a good 1000 kilometres of motorway and a national border apart, but otherwise there are a lot of parallels. Both have been cultivating their vineyards biodynamically for many years and both have ...
According to HP Harrer, Neuburger belongs in northern Burgenland just as Sangiovese belongs in Tuscany. Unfortunately, only very few people see it that way, but the few Neuburger specimens that do exist seem to confirm his opinion.
For the sake of Neuburger, HP has thrown away his original philos...
Zweigelt was at the top of our personal list of outlawed grape varieties for years. This was followed by Welschriesling, Gelber Muskateller and a few more varieties that have long since received their absolution, as well as Zweigelt. We believe that we have little to do with age milds, but mainly...
Vintages are always a big topic in the wine world. We agree that they are not entirely unimportant, but we do not share the hype about them and are rather sceptical about the views on what is really great and what is rather lousy. Firstly because we can remember massive errors in judgement since ...
Many years ago, the Schillerberg rosé was the first Austrian rosé that gave me the feeling that this style of wine could also produce more than just banal summer wines in Central Europe. In the meantime, a few more rosés have been added, but Jörg Bretz's Schillerberg continues to reside firmly in...
The Mont Blanc (der Weiße Berg) is in Neusiedl. At least if Jörg Bretz has his way. A few years ago, he decided to give his cuvée of Grüner Veltliner and Pinot Blanc the name Weißer Berg, although we still don't know why he did so (we suspect it's because of the colour of the soil, but we'll find...
"We can make even more from Pinot Blanc than from Chardonnay," says Jörg Bretz. In order to achieve more, Jörg Bretz follows a few principles that no other winegrower we know of in Austria pursues with the same rigour.
In short, they can be summarised as follows: a lot of manual work, meticulous...
The Rét originates from Alexander Koppitsch's Easy-Drinking-Series, which Koppitsch aficionados still remember under the name "authentic wines". Rét is Hungarian and means grassland, which in turn is a reference to the fact that cattle used to graze where Zweigelt and St. Laurent grow today.
The...
Hungarian can even be simple. Rosza just means pink. No sz at the beginning and no three ö and four accents above the letters.
Neszider is not really difficult either. It means Neusiedl am See, the home of Alexander and Maria Koppitsch. Neusiedl belonged to Hungary until 1921, and in honour of th...

The Gräfin is the most subtle and elegant interpretation of Sauvignon Blanc that can be found between Leutschach and Sancerre in an orange colour. And an example of how the region can also be reflected in mash-fermented wines.
As with the Graf, the vines of the Gräfin are rooted in the centre o...
The Sauvignon Blanc Graf is an example of how Sauvignon can be when you let nature have the first and last word. Not that this isn't the case with Sepp Muster's other wines. With his Sauvignon Blanc, however, it is even more noticeable, as it differs so clearly from the many versions of the varie...
