Located in Mauer, at the southern foothills of the Vienna Woods, the traditional Viennese house Edlmoser can look back on a very long family history dating back to 1374. The experience of generations, the desire for value and sustainability, as well as an uncompromising demand for quality have always shaped the thinking and actions, and even today Viktoria and Michael Edlmoser are guided by this as a matter of course. The winery is a member of the "Traditionsweingüter Österreich" and a founding member of WIENWEIN. One of Vienna's oldest Heurigen in Mauer is also run by the Edlmosers.
Certified organic vineyards, hand harvesting and the Pannonian climate with well-distributed rainfall and many hours of sunshine, plus fresh, cool air from the forest and a wide variety of soils provide ideal conditions for complex, deep wines with fascinating minerality and spiciness. A central role is played, for example, by the shell limestone soil on dolomite on the Maurerberg with the 1ÖTW sites Ried Sätzen and Ried Himmel, a deposit conglomerate of corals, algae, snails and mussels.
On the Kadolzberg, on the other hand, the subsidence of the Vienna Basin created loamy flysch sandstone soil, perfect for the development of aroma and character. Old autochthonous and international grape varieties feel equally at home on the vineyard sites and are accompanied through the year with a great sense of ecological balance. The wines, as an interplay of nature and winemaker, should ultimately reflect the vintage and the site - and nothing else.
