Our Story

Weingut Machherndl, an 18-acre estate established in 1786, is run by eigth generation owner, Erich Machherndl, who believes in honest viticulture without compromises. His philosophy is simple: Keep focused on tradition, believe in the vines—especially the 100-year-old vines—and do not become distracted by the status symbols of modern viticulture. His first goal is to produce exquisite wines that can be enjoyed and admired for many years. The wines are from 100% estate grown grapes, produced and bottled from single-vineyard sites.
