The winery is located in the municipality of Höflein in the Carnuntum wine-growing region of Lower Austria. The family has been growing grapes here since 1752. Today, the traditional winery is run by the sixth generation of siblings, Hannes and Doris Zwickelstorfer. Doris discovered her love of wine at the "Willamet Valley Vineyards" in Oregon and gained further experience by working abroad in Argentina at the "Diminio del Plata" and South African "Kaapzicht" wineries. Hannes practised in Californian, French and Spanish cellars after viticultural school. The aim of the two is to continue the viticulture established by their father Johann in its most original form.

The vineyards are converted to natural cultivation with activation of the natural cycle. The goal is balanced, healthy vineyards and wines with a distinct character and storage potential. The vineyards cover 12 hectares of vineyards. About 50% of the red wine areas are planted with 30- to 40-year-old vines mainly of the Zweigelt and Blauer Portugieser varieties. The other part is young vineyards with the varieties Zweigelt, St. Laurent, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. The white wine varieties are Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. The wines are matured in stainless steel tanks or wooden barrels and are produced in the three lines Basis, Premium and Reserve. The flagship of the house is the "Zweigelt Hoherweg", aged for 36 months in barriques.
