Hareter wine estate

This is probably the fourth generation of Hareters to devote themselves intensively to winegrowing. Even Thomas Hareter, who took over the estate from his parents in 2011, is not entirely sure. When the business, situated in the small municipality of Weiden am See in Burgenland, converted to organic farming in 2009, Darwin supplied its guiding principle: everything that goes against nature cannot endure in the long run. Conversely, for Thomas and his wife Claudia, this means working with nature to create products that last. 'Many people aim to create something lasting. We want to see this aim realised in our wines. We try to ensure that every wine can fulfil its greatest possible ageing potential. The delicacy that distinguishes our wines, the structure that supports them and the balance that makes them harmonious should still be perceptible after years,' explains Thomas Hareter.

The varieties grown are chiefly native ones such as Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch, alongside Pinot Blanc, Welschriesling and Chardonnay. The vineyards lie mainly above the village, on and above the Wagram, a ridge that was once a seashore. The vines benefit from the special lake climate, but the soils are stony rather than sandy, and mostly a mixture of loam and gravel. The wines ferment spontaneously, preserving the typical character of the fruit and soil. For Thomas, it is simple: he brings the grape straight into the glass!
