Birgit Eichinger
Birgit Eichinger is one of the most influential voices in the Kamptal region – and for good reason. Her family winery in the heart of this exemplary Austrian wine region stands for a clear philosophy: as little as necessary, as consciously as possible.
What does that mean in the glass? Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from vineyards like Heiligenstein or Gaisberg that don't just explain their origin – they make it tangible. Precise, refined, with a depth that allows you to rediscover them time and again.
Birgit Eichinger –
Kamptal terroir with a clear signature
Birgit Eichinger is one of the winemakers who not only represent the Kamptal region but have also helped shape it. Her family winery in Strass im Straßertale operates according to a simple principle: as little intervention as possible, as much care as necessary – in the vineyard as well as in the cellar.
The vineyard sites speak for themselves: Heiligenstein and Gaisberg are two of Lower Austria's most renowned single vineyards, characterized by primary rock, loess, and a microclimate that pushes Grüner Veltliner and Riesling to unusual depths. At Eichinger, these wines are presented without embellishment – precise acidity, mineral tension, and a finish that lingers longer than expected.
Anyone who has tasted Birgit Eichinger's wines side by side understands what origin in the glass can mean: not as a label, but as a taste. Recommendation: the Riesling Heiligenstein with pike-perch or char, the Grüner Veltliner Gaisberg with Wiener Schnitzel or aged mountain cheese.
