Harvested
by season
Our collection follows the natural rhythm of the Hohenwarth estate. Each season brings distinct conditions — and distinctive character — to every row of vines.
Hand-Picking
Every cluster assessed and harvested by hand at peak ripeness — a practice Stefan refined across six countries.
Cellar Processing
Grapes are processed swiftly after picking to preserve the freshness of each Hohenwarth parcel.
Vintage Selection
Stefan personally selects which parcels earn the Reserve label — only the finest rows, only the best years.
Barrel Ageing
Patience is the philosophy of the estate. Reserve wines rest in barrel until Stefan is satisfied — no earlier.
Natural Stabilisation
Cold winter temperatures naturally stabilise the wines — no chemical shortcuts, ever.
Blending Trials
Drawn from his experience at wineries from California to Australia, Stefan blends with a global palate.
Pruning
Each vine hand-pruned by Stefan and his father — still working side by side on the Hohenwarth estate.
Soil Care
Sustainable practices passed down through the family, refined with Stefan's formal training at the HBLA.
Home Garden
The fruit for Stefan's estate schnapps is grown right here in the family garden — nothing imported.
Canopy Management
Leaf removal and shoot positioning to maximise sunlight — best practices learned across two hemispheres.
Ripeness Monitoring
Stefan monitors the vines at weekends, travelling from Vienna to Hohenwarth every week throughout summer.
Harvest Timing
The decision of when to pick is the most critical of the year — and it is always Stefan's call alone.
