Kemetner
Another sensational discovery! The Kemetner family has been growing grapes in the eastern end of the Kamptal, hard by the famous Schloss Grafenegg, since the 17th century. Father Leopold oversaw the complete conversion to organic viticulture in 2008, and now preternaturally youthful-looking son Simon has taken over. There are ten hectares of vineyards distributed in seven different Rieden (or crus). What distinguishes these wines is a sense of vitality and force, which clearly supplant polish in the producer’s hierarchy of virtues. In this, they evoke memories of Hiedler’s similarly constructed wines.

It all started with Nicolaus Kemetner in the 17th century. He is mentioned as the first in the records, while his son Johannes 1666 was named as “Vinitor in Etsdorf”. A local historian has recently discovered our family-owned, custom seal on an old market bill from 1741, which is now our label and stands as a symbol for the winery. The conversion to a biological winegrowing took place in 2008. Since 2011, the establishment has been bio certified.
