IT IS AS IF SEPP MANTLER AND FAMILY WERE literally rooted to the soil. Their commitment to the vineyard, the growth of the vines and the cellar is an annual rebirth driven by the challenge of weather, soil, and passion. The Mantlerhof winery has been an active farm for over 600 years, when it under the ownership of the Styrian Admont Monastery. It is here, nestled directly below the terraces that rise above Gedersdorf, that the Mantlerhof winery has forged a path cultivating Roter Veltliner, Neuburger and expressing some of the most historic and qualitative sites of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling primarily on löss soils. Organic farming has been a staple and precedent for over 30 years. “ The annual rebirth of the vines is both a challenge and my passion” — JOSEF MANTLER
