As the winery no longer exists in this form, the description refers to the status of the takeover. It was purchased in 2013 by Georg Leindl and Martin Nigl with parts of the vineyards and later became today's Leindl winery; see there.
The winery is located in Zöbing am Kamp in the Kamptal wine-growing region (Lower Austria). It was founded in 1896 by Josef Eder and later taken over by his granddaughter Notburga Sedlmayr. At the beginning of the 2000s, the winery underwent a reorientation with oenological support from Jürgen von der Mark (Master of Wine). From 2009, Ulrich Fiala (managing director), Oliver Fischer (winemaker) and Marc Fernandez (public relations, sales) were responsible for the business.
The vineyards cover 27 hectares of vines in the Heiligenstein, Eichelberg, Fahnberg, Hissberg, Tal, Käfertal and Seeberg vineyards. They are planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Muskat-Ottonel, Gelber Muskateller, Frühroter Veltliner, Neuburger and Müller-Thurgau, as well as the red wine varieties Zweigelt, St. Laurent, Blauburger, Blauer Portugieser, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The vineyards are cultivated close to nature with yield reductions of up to 75% in order to guarantee the best possible grape quality. As little interference as possible is made with nature.
Multiple, strict controls and selection ensure that only healthy and fully ripe grapes are processed. The aim is to produce wines full of character that reflect the vineyard and vintage. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with the vineyard's own yeasts. The white wines are matured in stainless steel tanks and the red wines in large wooden barrels or barriques according to tradition. The use of chemical or natural additives for subsequent fining and moulding of the wines is completely avoided. The premium wines include various Rieslings and Grüner Veltliner Kamptal DAC.
