The winery is located in the municipality of Untermarkersdorf (Hadres) in the Pulka Valley in the north of the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Weinviertel on the border to the Czech Republic. In the imperial patent of 20 July 1641, Untermarkersdorf is highlighted by name as a first-class wine village. Since that time, winegrowing has been practised in the traditional family. Today, the winery is run by Wolfgang Baumgartner. With a total of 200 hectares of vineyards, the farm is one of the largest wineries in Austria. The vineyards are located in the Neudeckel, Tafelberg, Schatzberg and Sommerleiten vineyards. The white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Muskat-Ottonel, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Scheurebe, Müller-Thurgau and Jubiläumsrebe, as well as the red wine varieties Pinot Blanc, Blauer Portugieser, Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch are cultivated.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
