Peter Masser's winery in Fötschach, not far from Leutschach, is renowned among gourmets not only for its wines but also for its second mainstay, the breeding of Scottish Highland cattle. Close to the South Styrian Wine Road, the Massers find perfect conditions for the production of quality wine. The vineyards of Sernauberg, Oberglanz and Schlingelberg, with slopes of up to 50 degrees, provide ideal conditions for the vines.
The range includes the typical South Styrian grape varieties; crisp Welschriesling, Morillon, various Pinot Noirs and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as Muskateller. In good years, sweet wines (Eiswein, Ausbruch, Trockenbeerenauslese) are also produced. "Stock" is a fresh, fruity, invigorating, light wine with a distinctive varietal character. "Bod'n" is the classic reflection of the provenance and typicality of the vineyards - these are wines of great character and elegant richness. Zeit+Ruh" are very special wines, slowly matured in small wooden barrels to develop their full ageing potential.
Since 2016, Florian and Peter Masser have been working as pioneers in the field of fungus resistant grape varieties and they now cultivate the largest organic vineyard of new grape varieties in Austria. However, the father-son duo's love of experimentation doesn't stop there, four amphora are also owned by the Massers confirming their commitment to exciting wine styles with great ageing potential.
