Weingut Prechtl - Weinviertel // See wine map of Austria below
Weingut Prechtl
Weingut Prechtl was established in Zellendorf in 1839 and five generations later, it is currently owned and run by Franz & Petra Prechtl (pictured in the middle of the photo above). Franz, who is also the winemaker, puts great emphasis on sustainable farming techniques, allowing the grapes to grow as naturally as possible. The 15 hectare estate produces top quality wines based on their knowledge of the soils, conditions and the age of the vines. The vines in their prime vineyards are at least 25 years old, with these deep-rooted vines giving their wines their special, complex style.
