The winery is located in the municipality of Teesdorf in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Thermenregion. The house was first mentioned in a document in 1820. The logo on the bottle label shows the "Marterl under two lime trees" on Teesdorf's main square. There is an adjoining wine tavern where the entire range of wines is also served by the glass. The family business is now in its third generation. Johann Gisperg is responsible for the vineyards, while Johann Jr. has been in charge of the cellar since 2013.
The vineyards cover 16.5 hectares of vines. Two thirds of them are planted with the red wine varieties Zweigelt, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Blauer Portugieser, Zweigelt and St. Laurent, and one third with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Frühroter Veltliner, Neuburger,Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling. The most important quality criteria are restrictive work in the vineyard, gentle processing of the grapes and careful ageing in the cellar.
The vines are consistently cultivated in a natural, environmentally friendly manner in accordance with integrated production. Each of the 65,000 vines is visited at least ten times a year in order to carry out the necessary care work exclusively by hand. This means that only selected grapes are harvested and processed during the manual harvest. The white wines are generally matured in stainless steel tanks (except for the Burgundy cuvée in small oak barrels), the red wines in large wooden barrels or in barriques of Austrian or French origin.
Premium wines are the reserves of St. Laurent, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as the white wine cuvée "Burgunder Exklusiv" (Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris) fermented and matured in barriques. In years with favourable weather conditions, sweet Prädikat wines are also produced. Around 90,000 bottles of wine are produced each year. A bottle-fermented sparkling wine "Gisperg Brut", red wine chocolate, grape jelly and grape marc brandy are also produced. The winery is a member of the winegrowers' association Burgundermacher.
