The Czerny family has been working this land, about 50 miles west of Vienna on the Danube River, and winery for over 250 years. Hans Czerny, who took over from his father Johann in 1987, is extremely committed to practicing minimal intervention in the vineyards and in the cellar. No additives are ever used, only natural yeasts are employed, filtering is kept to a minimum, and the wines are left in contact with the lees for long periods in order to maintain the identity and the personality of the wines. Additionally, Hans Czerny switched to organic production with the 2003 vintage as his first “certified organic” harvest; and has embraced biodynamics, earning certification by the Demeter society. Furthermore, Hans’ dedication to his land and vineyards is reflected in old vine Grüner Veltiner, Riesling, and Traminer that fully express the potential of the Wagram and of these varieties.
