The winery is located in the municipality of Göttlesbrunn in the Carnuntum wine-growing region of Lower Austria. The family owns the former parish cellar. Attached is a Buschenschank, where homemade Heurigen classics and game specialities are offered. Markus Lager is the third generation of the family to run the winery. The vineyards cover 8.5 hectares of vineyards, including the Rosenberg, Bärenreiser and Aubühl vineyards, mostly on south-facing slopes. They are 55% planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Blanc, Müller-Thurgau, Gelber Muskateller, Welschriesling and Sauvignon Blanc, and 45% with the red wine varieties Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Syrah. Since the 2019 vintage, the vineyards have been cultivated in an environmentally friendly, nature-oriented manner according to the certified rules of organic viticulture with, for example, the cultivation of flowering strips. Sheep graze between the rows of vines.
The cellar work is carried out with the most modern technology, but according to the non-invasive principle "wine quality is created in the vineyard" with as little intervention as possible. The white wines are partly vinified in the classic way to preserve freshness and fruitiness, but also in wood. The red wines are matured in traditional large wooden barrels as well as in barriques for up to 14 months. The premium wines include the Ried Rosenberg site wine (Zweigelt, Merlot) aged for 12 to 14 months in barrique and the local wine Göttlesbrunn (Zweigelt). The product portfolio also includes Frizzante and Pét Nat Rosé. Some of the wines are also bottled in magnum bottles. The winery is a member of "Die Rubin Carnuntum Weingüter".
