The Taubenschuss estate is located in Austria, in the village of Poysdorf, the north-eastern part of the Weinviertel on the way from Vienna to Brno, Czech Republic.
Nowadays Markus and Thomas Taubenschuss run the business, which has a long history dating back to the year 1670, with the dedicated help of their parents Monika and Helmut.
As one of the first in Austria their grandfather Anton Taubenschuss Sen. already started to bottle his dry, quality wines in 1941.
The family is cultivating 22 hectares of the best varieties – mostly Grüner Veltliner and Pinot Blanc. Important in the vineyard is sustainable viniculture and the conscious abandonment of herbicides, insecticides and commercial fertilizers. Own compost production for organic fertilization and vineyard grazing with special sheep are the basis for expressive wines.
Only hand selected grapes, cautious cellar technology and late bottling after long maturing in the cellar is key to produce natural, characterful wines which are always perfect examples of the individual vintage and their region. Pure, dry wines with unmistakable characteristics are created. Currently, the winery is in the conversion process to organic certification and will be certified in 2024.
