About Mayr

Winemaker Franz Arndorfer and his team cultivate some 50 acres of Austria’s Kremstal region. With a long tradition dating back to 1447 the winery has also developed one of Austria’s most ambitious organic farming programs. All vineyard works from pruning, to canopy management, to harvesting at optimum ripeness levels are performed in accordance with this stringent viticulture program.

Kremstal is a subregion of the state of Niederösterreich, which is located in Lower Austria. The climate and significant variations in temperature from day to night are due to this area’s proximity to the Danube River, which imparts cool winds from the north, warm, continental air from the east, and moderate, mediterranean temperatures from the south. Warm days guarantee physiologically perfectly ripe grapes while cool nights slow down the ripening process. This unique micro climate makes for an extra long ripening period. The result is a crisp, vibrant and spicy Grüner Veltliner with unique mineral freshness and refined aromatics.
