The winery is located in the community of Heimschuh in the Austrian wine-growing region of Southern Styria. The traditional company has been family-owned since 1870. Today the fourth generation, Heide and Johann Schneeberger, and the fifth generation, Hansi and Sarina and their daughters Martina with husband Roman Gaschler and Margret and Walter Reinprecht, are all involved in winegrowing. A Buschenschank is also operated. The vineyards comprise 100 hectares of vines in the sometimes particularly steep locations of Sausal, Kreuzegg, Flamberg and Kittenberg. They are planted with the white wine varieties Morillon(Chardonnay), Muskateller, Sauvignon Blanc,Pinot Blanc, Rivaner(Müller-Thurgau), Sämling 88(Scheurebe), Traminer and Welschriesling, as well as the red wine varieties Blauer Wildbacher and Zweigelt. An environmentally friendly cultivation is carried out according to the company motto "in harmony with nature".
During the construction of the ultra-modern cellar, the natural conditions of the terrain were exploited, which allows a gentle transport of the mash by means of natural gravity. The white wines are matured in steel tanks with an emphasis on fruit aromas. Burgundy and Sauvignon Blanc also mature in French barriques. The wide range of products mainly comprises varietal quality wines, and for red wines there is also the cuvée "Kapazunder" (Zweigelt, Blauer Wildbacher). The flagship of the house is the white wine "Sauvignon Blanc Kittenberg" fermented in barriques and matured on the fine yeast. Bottle-fermented sparkling wines (Muskateller and Brut Rosé) as well as Frizzante and fine brandies (new in the Dry GIN portfolio) are also produced.
