Vineyard Site
A big, open 6 ha clearing, the Buch is an individual vineyard protected on three sides by mixed forest. Here, south- and southwest-facing vineyards are rooted in basalt-rich volcanic soil at elevations from 300 to 360 m, producing the very best of our wine selection.
As ambassadors of this very special vineyard, our Weissburgunders, Morillons and Sauvignon blancs represent the terroir authentically and expressively. These wines are distinguished by longevity and a warm, quiet radiance.

Winery
Old values – new paths. Wine has been pressed in our family for three generations. With boundless joy and deepest respect.
100 % Vulkanland Steiermark is our steadfast ideology: Only grapes from the Vulkanland Steiermark region are ever permitted into our cellars. Highest-quality wines with a distinctive personality and unambiguous origin are as much our goal as pure enjoyment with every sip.
Our product palette may be subdivided into three categories: regional wines, represented by elegant, multifaceted classics; profound wines drawn from single vineyards Stradener Rosenberg, Buch, Steintal and Altes Steinkreuz; and local wines as an expressive happy medium between both of the aforementioned categories.
With best wishes from,
The Frauwallner Family
