A brief 30-minute drive south of Vienna will bring you to the door of Johanneshof Reinisch. Located in Austria’s historic Thermenregion, the Reinisch family is producing wine in the fourth generation, with the current winemaking team comprised of three brothers: Hannes, Christian and Michael. With a 2,000 year legacy of wine growing in the region, the Reinisch’s maintain Thermenregion traditions with vineyards planted to 65 % red and 35 % white vines. The Theremregion aquired this name, in part, from geothermal hot springs that flow under the vineyards here, contributing to favorable wine growing conditions for finicky varieties like Pinot Noir.

Best known for their excellent Pinot Noir and St. Laurent, there is a particular focus at Johanneshof Reinisch on the Burgundy varieties. Their Pinot Noir vines grow in vineyards from both the stony, alluvial gravel soils of Tattnedorf near the winery and the elevated, nutrient rich soils of Gumpoldskirchen.

Tasting notes
Animating scent of exotic fruits. Lively and vital with a firm core on the palate. Creamy finish.
pinot Noir
The grapes for this Pinot Noir come from the vineyards around Tattendorf and Gumpoldskirchen, where soils with a large proportion of lime offer the ideal location for Burgundy vines.
When vinifying this Pinot Noir, we strive for a lean, fruity character of the wine, which is why it only matures in large wooden casks.
Fine scent of berries and fruits. Elegant with a hint of extract sweetness.

Gruner vetliner 'FEDERSPIEL'
While the exact origin story of Crazy Creatures remains steeped in mystery we do know certain facts of their appearance in modern times. They come from a small Austrian village called Palt, in the wine-growing region known as the Kremstal, where you find Grüner Veltliner as the dominant grape variety. The home of Crazy Creatures is Malat winery (www.malat.at), a traditional, family owned wine estate since 1722.
The Crazy Creatures are made of 100% Grüner Veltliner and nothing else. The strong and unique characters of Crazy Creatures go along perfectly with the diverse flavour of Grüner Veltliner, which is Kremstal’s most important grape variety and even more, the most important grape from Austria. It’s known for its spicy, herbal but also fruity aroma and a crisp, fresh acidity. Only the best grapes from the region are used for Crazy Creatures.
