Rosner

Norbert and his Son Stefan consider themselves as a team, willing to do what it takes to bring the quality from their vineyards into the bottle. Norbert grew up in Langenlois and was part of the family winery from a very young age. After his education in viticulture, he took over the responsibilities of the estate from his parents. Norbert shifted practices in the vineyards to a more sustainable way. After learning more about organic farming in a modular seminar in 2006 he gradually put this approach into practice. Stefan, at the age of 15 Stefan went to visit a college for viticulture in the town of Klosterneuburg, close to Vienna. After several internships in different wineries in Austria and overseas as well as a bachelor degree in economics and business, Stefan joined the family estate fully in 2014.

Langenlois’ tradition in viticulture goes back to the middle age and was practiced by its townspeople from that time on. Theresia and Johann Rosner bought the wine estate’s house in 1897 and seven years later the wine cellar where wine has been produced up to today. As of 1934 Leopoldine and Franz Rosner continued the family’s tradition and cultured the vines. 1958 Margarete and Franz Rosner took over the winery and expanded both, the cellar and the land. Since 1995 Renate and Norbert Rosner have been in charge and modernized the winery as well as extended the areas for vineyards.

Working in line with nature out in the vineyards is self-evident for us. This is why we have pursued sustainable wine growing throughout decades. Above that, we have been certified organic since 2010. Most important for us personally is to protect the nature’s resources and we see this clearly in our responsibility because making wine from our own vines gives us the opportunity to control the whole process from the soil of our vineyards to the finished bottle of wine. In the following sections we want to show you the measures we take to enhance our viticulture.
