The winery is located in the municipality of Gols (Untere Hauptstraße 49) in the Burgenland wine-growing region of Neusiedlersee (Austria). The foundation stone was laid centuries ago by the ancestors of the traditional winegrowing family. The winery has been run by Anita and Hans "John" Nittnaus since 1985.
The vineyards cover a total of 22 hectares, of which 7 hectares are in Gols in the Neusiedlersee wine-growing region and 15 hectares in the Leithaberg wine-growing region, mostly in the municipality of Jois. The vineyards are Altenberg, Bergschmallister, Freudhofer, Gritschenberg, Jungenberg, Lange Ohn, Tannenberg and Ungerberg. They are 80% planted with the red wine varieties Blaufränkisch (the dominant leading variety), Zweigelt and Merlot, and 20% with the white wine varieties Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling and Furmint.

Since 2007, certified biodynamic viticulture has been practised according to the rules of the respekt-BIODYN association. Among other things, this means cover crop between the rows of vines and composting, as well as the complete avoidance of artificial fertilisers and synthetic pesticides.
Through selective hand-picking, only physiologically ripe grapes are processed. In conjunction with particularly favourable climatic conditions, such as the proximity of the climate-regulating Lake Neusiedl and the soil composition, these are ideal conditions for terroir-typical wines with a pronounced minerality.

As a matter of principle, spontaneous fermentation takes place without the use of pure yeasts. No fining agents or other substances are added in the cellar. The premium wines are the red wines "Comondor" (Merlot, Blaufränkisch) and the Leithaberg "Jungenberg" and "Gritschenberg" (Blaufränkisch), which are matured for 18 to 28 months in used 500-litre oak barrels. The white wines are "Furmint Tannenberg" and the Leithaberg Chardonnays from the "Freudhofer" and "Bergschmallister" vineyards. The winery is a member of Pannobile.
