Today, the life of the vine grower looks completely different than it did thirty or forty years ago. Most sales are digitally managed, communications are transmitted via a smartphone and the calendar is full of appointments.

The only thing that makes the activity so special and so useful is the daily immersion in nature. Deadlines and hectic pace are losing their impact as we make our way through the rows of vineyards. The slow but steady development of the plants - from the dissolution of the buds to the fully ripened bunches - brings a sense of calm and harmony to one's life. And in this world, each vineyard moves at its own pace: changes in time have different effects, depending on the different geology of the individual vineyards, while the vegetation cycle differs according to the exposure and the point of maturity depends on the sunshine. character. And every year this gradual but consistent development is again a fascinating experience.

The vineyards of Carnuntum are not spread out on steep slopes or nestled in dramatic geological formations, but rather are located on the hills that the ancient sea and the meandering Danube have formed for millions of years. Each of these hills has its own unique geological history, its own exposition and thus its own distinctive taste. Here, for many years, winemakers have focused their efforts on the production of cuvettes, the combination of wines from different soils and different varieties of grapes in complex works of wine. But now there is a new trend in the region: rethinking the distinctive features of the individual hills and expressing them in a pure way.
