About Weingut Adrian
Information provided directly by the winery.
Information
We are a small family-run winery from Austria, Burgenland, which is run in the 3rd generation by two brothers, Daniel and Lukas Adrian. On 13 hectares of vineyards, we grow around 60% white and 40% red wines. Our portfolio includes light and fresh, as well as complex oak-aged whites and reds. We grow indigenous varieties like Welschriesling, Zweigelt, or Blaufränkisch, as well as international varieties like Chardonnay, Merlot, or Cabernet Sauvignon. Healthy vines and grapes are the most important part of our winery, therefore we don’t use any herbicides or pesticides and do most of the work in the vineyards by ourselves. In this way, we try to capture the essence of our region in a bottle!
