Altogether three different old vineyards on vulcanic clay are used for this wines. The oldest Grüner Veltliner vineyards from Kolfok are from 1951, a kind of family selection, graft by their own hands. This is the Burgenland type of Grüner Veltliner, always showing the character of this border region to Hungary. Very unique in it‘s style, it sometimes reminds of hungarian varieties. Whole bunch press and staying on the full lees in 500 Liter and 600 Liter barrels. For this wine Stefan uses his family’s own wood to make barrels in cooperation with the Schneckenleitner- cooperage.

‘Vulkan’ Fun Facts: These Grüner Veltliner vines are old clones (old even for when they were planted in the early ‘50s), and very specific to this localized region in Mittelburgenland. They are thicker-skinned and produce dark yellow berries that are distinctive from the typical, more neutral Grüner we might think of today. Locally, it’s identified as a “Burgenland Veltliner” type, and produces flowery-spicy nuances that are reminiscent of white Hungarian varieties.
