Origin shapes our wines just as much as it shapes us," is the motto of the Hofstätter family, who live and work in Spitz, in the heart of the Wachau. As a traditional family business with a lot of common sense and heart, they strike a balance between traditional viticulture and modern cellar technology, between originality and internationality. The Hofstätters are driven by a passion for good wine. And out of respect for nature, the vineyards are treated with particular care. They are the most precious asset: both the root and the future of the business.
Once a year, they get off the tractor, put away their work gloves and grab an apron and tray: the farmyard and terrace are transformed into a cosy wine bar for ten days.
The wine, the apricots, the Danube, the Tausendeimerberg: there are so many things that give beautiful Spitz its character. The quinces, these aromatic fruits of the eponymous tree, have nothing to do with it - even if some may wonder how they came to be in the address of the winery. According to Elisabeth Arnberger's book "Flurnamen erzählen", "Quitten" is an ancient term for a fork in the road, a meeting of two paths. The farm stands at such a fork in the road, and here the Hofstätter family awaits wine lovers with Wachau wines.
