Wine Region: Thermenregion
Province: Niederösterreich (Lower Austria)
The House of Stadlmann's history of winemaking dates back seven generations to as early as 1780. The estate is located in Thermonregion, 20 minutes south of Vienna. Johann Stadlmann VII gained additional experience in wine-growing estates in Alsace, Germany and Alto Adige, Italy. He is one of the region's key wine personalities. No manipulation, but harmony with nature, this has always been the credo of the Stadlmann family.
Their two main varietals are indigenous to Thermenregion: Zierfandler (from which they make their hallmark wine) and Rotgipfler. These varietals date from the days of the Hapsburg Empire, and were the Emperor's favorite wines.
