With 80 estate hectares, the Rabl Winery is one of the largest in the Kamptal winegrowing region. This size makes it possible to select grape charges both for easy-drinking, entry-level wines as well as complex single-vineyard wines. To transport the expression of the terroir of his top sites to the wine glass, Rudi Rabl favours handcraft in the vineyards and respects the individuality of his vines and says, “This is more important than perfectly groomed vine rows. After all, a vine is not an ornamental plant. Each vine is unique.” Despite this, meticulous canopy management is practiced to achieve optimal aeration and exposure to sunlight. Rudi’s primary principle is: “Only perfect grapes can yield a top wine!

About Austrian Wine
Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn't seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it's wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time.
Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.
In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
