our signature
It’s a long time from the start of a vintage’s vegetation period to the filled bottle. During this time, it’s the interplay between people and nature that determines the quality of our wines. This is the only way for the winemaker’s unmistakable signature to be able to develop in the bottle. For us, one of the most important decisions is to only interfere with nature in a very limited and targeted way. Long exposure to yeast and the right choice of fermentation and storage casks contribute to how this signature manifests itself.
in the vineyard
A well-considered selection of fruit wood, so as not to obstruct the channels for the vine’s sap, and maintaining species-rich vegetation that has a positive effect on the stock of useful plants, are among some of our most important ideas.
We completely refrain from using insecticides or herbicides. By composting the plant-based residues of the pressing and using manure, we manage to do without synthetically produced fertilisers.
Together with our partners, we are setting new standards with the new “Sustainable Austria” certification, to shape our common future in a sustainable way.

„A life in harmony with nature and enjoying its gifts“ – Hans Topf
„Working with nature contains so much creativity! The goal to create uniqueness is motivating us to get the best results from a vintage every and every time again.“ – Magdalena Topf
„The full potential of a vintage often only becomes apparent after many years of storage. Addressing the later development of the wines as they mature makes work in the cellar exciting.“ – Hans-Peter Topf
„Passing on traditions and preserving what has passed the test of time is something that we live by daily, because only in this way can the craft, values and knowledge be sustained across several generations“ – Maximilian Topf
