Zierfandler is - together with Rotgipfler , which we also have - a typical grape from the Thermenregion , south of Vienna. Gumpoldskirchen is the 'capital' of this special and small wine region. Thermenregion refers to the volcanic origin of the soil here, with sulphurous springs. The Romans planted the first vines here.

Zierfandler is - as far as is known - a cross between Roter Veltliner and Traminer/Savagnin . The late-ripening grape is also known as Spätrot ; it turns reddish just before harvest.

Zierfandler, Lorenz Alphart. Wine from young ambitious talent

Lorenz Alphart continues a family tradition that goes back to 1762. The winery is officially called Alphart am Muehlbach. Lorenz Alphart (30) is now in charge and cultivates 9 hectares around the village of Traiskirchen . He is making a splash with Rotgipfler, from his top vineyards Mandelhöh and Pressweingarten, and also with Zierfandler.
Here he lets the unique terroir speak for itself - based on the motto 'Länge statt Breite': 'A fine, untouched salty and punishing, freshly burgundy, other with more tropical fruit and fresher Röstaromatik.' Jawohl. But this 'Ortswein' from Pfaffstätten also offers a lot of Trinkfluss! This gastronomic wine beautifully showcases both the character of Zierfandler and the terroir.

Thermal region: the Côte d'Or of Austria

The area around Traiskirchen, where the Alphart family is based, is very similar to the Côte d'Or in Burgundy. Thermenregion is located at almost the same latitude. The vineyards here are also sheltered by forests and on slopes facing south and southeast. Furthermore, warm summers and dry autumns, heavy and chalky soil, the perfect conditions for Chardonnay, among other things, planted here in the Middle Ages by Cistercian monks from... Burgundy.
