The Taubenschuss winery is a monolith in the Weinviertel wine landscape and has been in existence since 1670. Today, the business is run by Markus and Thomas Taubenschuss - with the active help of their parents Monika and Helmut, who are still actively involved in production and marketing. Their ancestors secured the best sites around the wine town of Poysdorf, focusing on the Grüner Veltliner and Pinot Blanc Weissburgunder varieties typical of the region. Bottling in bottles began as early as 1941, but this is only one reason for the pioneering position of this Weinviertel winegrowing dynasty.
Then as now, the grapes are traditionally harvested exclusively by hand. The overriding motto is natural, sustainable viticulture, deliberately avoiding the use of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and commercial fertilisers and instead relying on their own compost production to organically fertilise the vineyards. Sustainable vineyard grazing with the help of special sheep has also been successfully practiced for several years, thus ensuring less use of machinery in the vineyard in the long term. The winery is currently in the process of converting to organic certification.
