The winery is situated in the town of Rust in Burgenland (Austria). Hermann Hammer, an engineer, travelled the world as a photographer before joining his parents-in-law’s winery full-time in 1994 as a career changer. Apartments are also available to rent at the Atriumhof, an old farmhouse with a beautiful courtyard. Since 2015, the business has been run by his son, Mag. Markus Hammer. The vineyards cover 4.5 hectares of vineyard area in the Rieden Alter Umriss, Geyer, Ludmaisch, Neuer Umriss, Bandkräftn, Plachen, Satz, Vogelsang and Waldumriss. They are planted 75 per cent with the white wine varieties Chardonnay,Pinot Blanc,Pinot Gris, Welschriesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Gelber Muskateller, and 25 per cent with the red wine varieties Blaufränkisch and Merlot.

Since the 2014 vintage, the vineyards have been managed in accordance with certified organic viticulture standards, without the use of synthetic chemicals in the vineyard. Careful leaf management and yield reduction lay the foundation for high quality. Through selective harvesting, only physiologically ripe and healthy grapes are selected for processing. Winemaking follows the non-invasive principle of ‘as much as necessary, as little as possible’. Great importance is attached to expressing the character of the vintage and the terroir. The premium wines include selections aged in barriques, several ‘Ruster Ausbruch Essenz’ wines made from various grape varieties, and Merlot. In years with suitable weather conditions, ice wines and Trockenbeerenauslesen are also produced. Various wines are also available in large bottle formats such as magnums (1.5 l) and double magnums (3 l). A bottle-fermented winemaker’s sparkling wine is also produced.
