On the variety and origins of this wine: Alongside Zweigelt and St. Laurent, Blaufränkisch is yet another classic Austrian red wine grape variety. The alluvial, gravely soil at the Monastery’s vineyards in Tattendorf – which has one of the best reputations among Austria’s red wine growing communities – offers perfect conditions for this variety. At 55 hectares, Tattendorf is also home to the Klosterneuburg Monastery Wine Estate’s largest vineyards.

The vineyards are situated in selected top locations in Klosterneuburg, Vienna, Gumpoldskirchen and Tattendorf. Since the year 2009 it is the first carbon neutral wine estate in Europe.

The wines bearing the Stift Klosterneuburg crest are the mainstay of our range of wines. Our Stiftsweine (Monastery wines) are youthful, fruity and characteristic of their varieties. They elegantly reflect the typicity of the relevant winegrowing region. The grapes used to make them come from various vineyards, but always from one winegrowing location. The Stiftswein collection represents Austrian winemaking tradition in its most enjoyably drinkable form.
