Story
Weinhof Haider has a picturesque setting on the side of Lake Neusiedl, recognized as one of the best places for grape growing in Austria. They are certified biodynamic and are committed to biodiversity, from the flowers and herbs that grow between the vines to the animals that are allowed to roam the vineyards.
The result is that this estate produces energetic wines that really demonstrate a sense of place. Bright, fresh reds and zippy whites with as little manipulation as possible in the cellar. Exciting stuff indeed.
