SINCE
1858
Our passion is not a trend.
It is a tradition. Since the middle of the 19th century, wine has been the center of our dedicated work.
The elements are our daily companions: fertile soil on which our work is based; the air that breezes through our vineyards; the water that makes our vines grow and finally: the fire that burns inside us.

The net is dry enough.
History
TOGETHER
Viticulture on a family wine-growing estate is always a big ‘we’. Wine is an integral component of our family’s creative energy as well as of our hometown Gols, an appreciated wine town that is well-known all over the world. Georg Preisinger has been running the winery in the 6th generation since 1998. The experience of his ancestors influences the present, whereas a transition to manual labor and strict selection but also a turn to spirituality (moon phases, Agnihotra technique, observing the annual cycle) have been introduced. Instead of expanding the vineyards to an industrial size, the Preisingers prefer viticulture dominated by concentrated and sustainable handwork with the least amount of technical support (but a lot of time for dedication) which makes great wines possible. ‘Our wines should unite people in pleasure.’ The assortment includes classic table or house wines as well as premium wines vinified with the utmost care.
Liquid time travel
The rocket is our symbol for the opportunities great wines offer: time travel to the year of their creation – at a high level you can feel a few decades melt on your tongue and your palate. Georg Preisinger’s wines are like liquid journeys through time, whose origins can be found in up to 55-year-old vineyards in the best locations around Gols. Numerous wines from the market town in the north of Burgenland can be found in the best venues and shops all over the world.
Climate
PANNONIA. PERFECT.
This part of the country is also known as ‘the sunny district of Austria’. The area has an average temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and an average of about 61 sunny days with temperatures higher than 25 degrees Celsius and therefore is the warmest region in Austria. Ideal conditions, not only for viticulture.
The influence of Atlantic currents in the area is quite weak; the climate is Pannonian or slightly continental. Instead of the precipitation maximum in the middle of the year, which is quite typical for Central Europe, there are two to three rainy periods in the national park area.
The summer months are hot and dry, temperatures below 0°C occur – if at all – from October to May while daily temperatures can reach 17 degrees or more even during the rather snow-free winter months. The enormous surface of Lake Neusiedl which is responsible for the special microclimate in the area serves as a heat reservoir. The lake releases warmth and humidity into the Seewinkel region and prolongs the growing season to approximately 250 days a year.
