The Hoch family, rooted in Hollenburg on the Danube since 1640, has a long tradition of winemaking. Christoph Hoch, who has been at the helm of the winery since 2013, is dedicated to promoting the unique terroir of the ‘Hollenburger Konglomerat’ and the particular local microclimate, following Demeter biodynamic principles to ensure the vitality of the soil and vines. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermented spontaneously and the wines mature in used wooden barrels. Christoph, a lover of fresh reds, also creates sparkling wines using the ancestral method, including Kalkspitz, Kalkreich and Rosé Rurale, which have received great international acclaim.
