We love wine.

In lively dialogue with nature, holistically, organically, and personally – this is how we live and love wine, and how we have been running our family winery in Strass for three generations. The past provides us with support, groundedness, and valuable treasures for our wine library. We look to the future together with our children Theresa and Pauli, who already participate in the ‘family council’ in the vineyard, discussing which grape varieties will be planted.

The ‘hard’ facts?

Across 30 hectares of vineyards in the Kamptal wine region, we nurture and cultivate 130,000 vines. Our focus is on white wine, complemented by a small, exquisite selection of red wines. Distinguished by quality seals, but especially by loyal customers from Vienna to Los Angeles, the winery’s success is based on holistic, ecological principles.

The ‘soft’ factors?

Hospitality, good humor, and down-to-earth passion flow through the veins of our winery. If our wine tells this story, it makes us content. If our wine brings joy to people, it makes us happy. Then our profession becomes as much an elixir of life as a fine drop of wine.

Taste how the years mature.

Our carefully curated wine library is the memory of our winery. It grows with the generations and was last expanded in 2016. Look forward to inspiring hours in our cozy tasting room. Discover outstanding vintages since 1967 that hold special significance for us: Grüner Veltliner from 1983 and 1986 – still from our father Heinrich Weixelbaum, birth years from the family, 1998 the first vintage by Heinz Weixelbaum, 2008 the Sauvignon Blanc Salon winner, and many more… Call us at 02735/2269 or send us an email, and we will reserve your appointment for a delightful tasting. Let us personally pour for you, listen to the stories, and taste how the years mature.

We speak dialect – our vineyards love that.

We listen carefully to nature and speak with it in the language of the terroir – in the Strassertal dialect. With our hands, we feel how the vineyard and its plants are doing. Annually, for bees and other small creatures, we sow plants such as chamomile, mustard, fennel, phacelia, and clover to provide them with food and habitat. This revitalizes the vineyard and the soil, sustainably ensuring the quality of the grapes. In winter, beneficial insects find shelter in the “Weixelbaum Insect Hotel Group” with locations in all our vineyards. Nature thanks us with abundant life, and we return the favor with good cheer.

Craftsmanship, wood, and time – our wines love that.

Despite all the love – the quality must be right. In the vineyard, manual labor counts; in the cellar, knowledge and a lot of intuition are key. We work with meticulous attention to detail to express the terroir with all its subtleties. Behind the scenes, gravity transports the grapes to the press, and then they free-fall into the barrel for settling. One glance into our barrel cellar is enough to know: the Weixelbaums are in love with wood. Lively, natural, fragrant, cozy – this is how our wines should be until their time has come. Time, the most important tool in our cellar: time for the wine to ripen, to develop, to run wild, and sometimes even to shed its rough edges. Our wines love that.
