Birgit Eichinger’s goals are clear – to optimise the natural aroma and flavour potential inherent in the grapes by matching varietals and terrain, practicing careful vineyard management and applying painstaking vinification. Having begun her winemaking career experimenting with 3.5 hectares from her parents’ business in the Kamptal region of Austria, it didn’t take long for Birgit to build on this success and establish a winery of her own in 1992.
Standing at the foot of the Gaisberg mountain, the winery is ultramodern and vinification takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with the emphasis being placed on the purity of the must prior to fermentation. The vineyard area has expanded since its beginnings and they now source fruit from more than 9 hectares from the best traditional sites in the Strass.
Birgit’s wines are elegant, highly expressive with great personality and character, very much like Birgit herself. We have highlighted her Grüner Veltliner Strasse Hasel 2015 as a great value buy that was recently reviewed in Jancis Robinson's Austrian Grüner report (16+ points) and offers fantastic value at just under £13 per bottle delivered.
