About winemaker

The production of this company follows the centuries-old tradition of the Benedictine monastery of Rajhrad and its production of monastery wines. The monastery itself was founded in 1048 and one of the wine cellars, built between 1690 and 1692, is still used for wine production today. The location of the current vineyards is also identical to the land where the monastery of Rajhrad cultivated vines five hundred years ago. For this reason, the labels of the local wines bear the trademark 'Rajhrad monastery wines'.

Basic characteristics of wine

The variety was bred by the director of the wine school in Klosterneuburg in Austria, Dr. F. Zweigelt in 1922 and its expansion to other countries was credited after the Second World War to Dr. Lenz Moser.
