The history of the Pröglhöf organic winery began in 1771 in Obernalb near Retz. 250 years later, around 50,000 vines are cultivated here by the family with a great deal of love and respect for nature. The craft of Markus the winegrower is carried out with care and sensitivity. Continuous training and the promotion of diversity in nature are very important to him. The aim is to preserve fertile soils and vines for the next generation. The pride in cultivating wine in Austria is also reflected in the choice of grape varieties: they rely on indigenous grape varieties such as Grüner Veltliner and Blauer Zweigelt. Working in harmony with nature plays a central role, such as minimising the use of pesticides, providing sufficient space for the vines and improving the soil through greening. Targeted foliage work and yield reduction enable the vines to deliver optimum results. The carefully harvested and pressed grapes are then fermented at a controlled temperature in the cellar. The aim is to produce well "accompanied" wines with lots of character and great ageing potential. The vineyards have been officially cultivated organically since the 2019 harvest.
