ABOUT THIS WINE
Weingut Schönberger was founded in 1991 by Günther Schönberger, a former musician and keyboardist of the famous Austrian pop-satire band Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung (EAV). Transitioning from the stage to the vineyards, Günther established the estate in Burgenland near the western shores of Lake Neusiedl. Today, his son Jakob Schönberger, a viticulture and oenology graduate, directs the estate. The winery is renowned for its pioneering biodynamic practices, crafting expressive, low-intervention wines that challenge traditional regional styles.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are grown biodynamically on the slopes of the Leithagebirge and hand-harvested. In the cellar, Jakob Schönberger employs a low-intervention approach. Fermentation occurs spontaneously using only native yeasts. The wine is aged on its fine lees in neutral, used oak casks. To preserve its natural texture and complexity, the wine is bottled completely unfiltered and unfined with minimal sulfur additions, resulting in a characteristic light visual haze.
