Every morning, the view from our window gives us energy for the day. We are lucky to live and work in one of the most beautiful areas in the world. It is not always easy, but we do everything with an awareness for this special location. Wilhelmshöhe has existed in this exact spot for 500 years, and wine has been produced here for at least as long. The wine estate has been in our family since 1921.

Wilhelmshöhe
A Wine Farmer Pair
We are a married couple
We are parents to three wonderful children
We are deep thinkers, lateral thinkers
We are visionaries and empaths
But we are also business partners
And simply OURSELVES!

Already as a child, I used to sit beneath the old apple trees, looking over the vineyards to the valley, enjoying the wind in my face, fully aware of what a special place this is.
I grew up in my grandparents‘ guest house, and after my architecture studies at Graz University of Technology, I returned to the Demmerkogel – my favourite place in the world – in order to take up the task of preserving Wilhelmshöhe for the next generation.

Having been raised in a long-established Kitzeck wine farming family, what I wanted to become one day was never in question. Being a wine farmer in the traditional sense only was never my path. Since I had to take over responsibility very early, in 1994, after my viticulture studies at Silberberg, I always thought and acted differently than my colleagues – perhaps also a little bit too soon sometimes.
Plenty of trust
in biodynamics
We have been farming our vineyards organically since 2004, and biodynamically since 2017. For us, that means respecting nature, giving it space and not thinking of ourselves as overly important. Letting the grass grow between the vineyard rows, admiring the ladybirds and butterflies, the snakes basking in the sun, the beetles in the shade, and appreciating the winter calm. Listening, observing, keeping humble. Feeling convinced of being on the right path. We trust in old wisdom, experience, plenty of gutfeel and nature‘s natural balance.
We are fortunate to be able to harvest grapes in our own intact biotope.
