Why it matters
The producer
Helma Müller-Grossmann started the winery in 1986. Her daughter Marlies joined her in 2009, and Marlies Hanke now runs the family winery.
The estate began its transition to organic farming in 2021. It now cultivates all its vineyards organically and manages both vineyard and cellar by organic principles.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
The winery is based in Furth-Palt, south of Krems and the Danube, with vineyards around Göttweiger Berg. Its village wines come entirely from Furth.
Single-vineyard wines form the premium site tier. Silberbichl and Steinbühel are classified as Erste Lagen by Österreichische Traditionsweingüter, while Höhlgraben and Steinpoint provide two further named sites within the range.
Wines to know
The range in view
Generation Wine HM, named for Helma and Marlies, and the Estate Wines open the range with classic, uncomplicated wines. Furth village wines follow, assembled entirely from the village, before the range moves into its single-vineyard bottlings.
The estate also makes natural wines without additives or oenological processes. A separate sparkling range is produced by the traditional Champagne method.
