The winery is located in the municipality of Unterloiben near Dürnstein in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Wachau. Its history goes back over a thousand years, when Emperor Heinrich II (973-1024) gave the Benedictine monastery of Tegernsee "two hectares of land". In 1176, the Tegernsee farm was established, which then served as a reading farm for centuries. The farm and its vineyards were first mentioned in the Tegernsee vineyard register in 1427. At the beginning of the 19th century, the farm passed to the Austrian Empire and decades later became private property. The estate was taken over by Franz and Mathilde Mittelbach in the 1970s. Today, the farm is run by their son Martin.

The vineyards cover 23 hectares of vineyards in the Höhereck, Kellerberg, Loibenberg, Steinertal and Zwerithaler vineyards. White wine varieties are cultivated to 90%, the most important of which are Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. The grapes are selectively harvested by hand, with the individual harvests extending into December. When vinifying the wines, great importance is attached to preserving the regional identity. The premium wines include various Grüner Veltliners and Rieslings according to the guidelines of the Vinea Wachau Nobilis Districtus winegrowers' association.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
