Erzherzog Johann Weine

Modern Castle Winery with Historical Roots

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Austrian countryside, Erzherzog Johann Weine is a cooperative winery located in Ehrenhausen, at the entrance to the South Styrian wine route. This winery is a collaboration of over 250 dedicated winegrowers from three certified wine regions in Styria, managing around 180 hectares of vineyards. Under the leadership of managing director Peter Stelzl and winemaker Sieghard Kugel, the winery produces a range of exceptional wines.

A Legacy of Collaboration Since 1916

In 1916, a group of passionate Styrian winemakers took over the historic wine cellar of Ehrenhausen Castle, previously owned by the Ritcher family. Their goal was to create high-quality wines inspired by French vintages. The cellar has been fully renovated, blending modern technology with its rich history. Today, Erzherzog Johann Weine offers a selection of premium red, white, and rosé wines under the IGP Val de Montferrand label.

Commitment to Sustainable Practices

Since the opening of the new winery in 2014, Erzherzog Johann Weine has embraced sustainable viticulture. The winery cultivates a diverse range of grapes, including Chardonnay, Marsanne, Nielluccio, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Touriga Nacional, all harvested by hand to ensure quality. This commitment to sustainability and quality has positioned the winery as a leader in the region.
