The name Hofer has been associated with a small but fine Heurigen address in Mauer for many years. Since 2011, Christina and Wolfgang have been running this thriving business and are members of the "Wiener Top Heurigen". The assortment distinguishes between the three lines "Varietal, fresh & fruity", "Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC classic & full-bodied" and "Große Lagen & Reserve".
The white wines are aged in stainless steel tanks and in large wooden barrels, the red wines in large wooden barrels and barriques.
For the red wine varieties the main focus is on Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon and St. Laurent - they show the good ageing potential of the southern Viennese sites.
The family's wine cellar is located in Gumpoldskirchen in the thermal region, where all processing takes place from harvesting to bottling.
At the Heuriger, much emphasis is placed on regional and fresh produce, just as the vineyards are worked very close to nature. The motto of the house: "Who is looking for tradition and cosiness is welcome here." It will be interesting to see what this up-and-coming Viennese business, which has already won several awards, will come up with in the future.
