anno 1270
Weingut Zöhrer
The roots of the Zöhrer winery and family, established in 1270, trace back to the Babenberg era in Austrian history. Around 1300, Albrecht I (1255-1308) enfeoffed twenty of his most loyal followers with farmland, orchards, and vineyards in and around Weinzierl (now a district of Krems), creating the feudal lords of Krems/Weinzierl.
Knowledge and tradition have been passed down through generations to Anton Zöhrer. We consistently work to maximize the potential of the grand single vineyards, which are among the most important in the Kremstal region.
The strength of Weingut Zöhrer lies in the terroir of its single vineyards: “Kremser Sandgrube,” “Kremser Weinzierlberg,” “Kremser Gebling,” “Kremser Thurnerberg,” and “Kremser Goldberg.”
Most vines were planted by his grandfather and father 40-80 years ago, focusing on “Grüner Veltliner” and “Riesling” varieties.
The wines have a distinct profile, strongly reflecting their terroir and enjoying international esteem.
