Kollwentz - Römerhof Wine Estate

All grapes from our own vineyards are picked by hand. This implies rigorous selection directly on the vine - only fully ripe, unscathed fruit ends up in the cellar. By the way: we have no irrigation systems in our vineyards. It is true that in extremely dry years it may happen that we forgo one or another harvest from young vineyards. On the other hand, the vines will root substantially more deeply, thus releasing extra aromas and flavors as well as power into the grapes.

A walking-tour through the historical vineyards of the Leithagebirge

We had perfect weather for this: Anton and Andi Kollwentz led a group of passionate enthusiasts in exploring the vineyards Haussatz, Neusatz, Point, Setz, Tatschler, Dürr and Gloria.

...and of course it wouldn't have been complete without a bit of a bite to eat at the end—accompanied, naturally, by wines from the vineyard sites we had visited.
