Weingut Schwarz

Weingut Schwarz was founded by Hans Schwarz. A vineyard that has been cared for by the family for generations, and sold its harvest to the local wine cooperative. As an amateur winemaker, Hans produced his first 100% Zweigelt wine "Giovanni". From here he grew into a professional winemaker. In 2012, the foundations were laid for a complete renovation of the winery. The first phase of this has now been completed.

Weingut Schwarz is located in an area called "Seewinkel" in the Burgenland region of Austria, and is about 20 km wide, along the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl. The villages of Illmitz, Apetlon and Podersdorf are located on this reed bed wetland, which is actually a nature reserve. It is an immense plain, with numerous shallow lakes of different sizes scattered throughout the area. The surrounding area is often covered in dense fog, which gives a special charm to the region. The climate has warm, dry summers and extremely cold winters - a unique microclimate.
