Weingut Trapl: A Legacy of Winemaking

Located in St. Stefan Stainz, Weingut Trapl has been crafting exceptional wines for over 300 years, nestled in the stunning landscapes of western Styria. The Trapl name first appeared in historical records in 1572, and the Oswald family has proudly owned the winery since 1765. Eduardo Oswald honors this rich heritage by blending traditional winemaking practices with modern techniques. His nephew, Fabian, shares this passion, contributing to the family legacy. Notably, the Schilcer Rustical is pressed using a historic tree press from 1867, and the wines are bottled only during specific moon phases. With a focus on freshness, Trapl wines are aged for no more than 18 months, resulting in vibrant aromas and fruity flavors.

Commitment to Quality Grapes

The Oswald family’s vineyards thrive in the picturesque region between Hochgrail and Lestein, where careful vineyard management is essential for producing high-quality wines. They utilize necessary sprays and a combination of mechanical and biological crop protection to ensure the growth of natural, flavorful grapes. The primary grape varieties cultivated include Blauer Wildbacher, Sauvignon Blanc, Klevner, Gelber Muskateller, Weißburgunder, Chardonnay, and Welschriesling. These grapes are the foundation for their exceptional red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert wines. Fermentation occurs with both natural yeasts and those sourced from their vineyards, contributing to the unique taste and character of Trapl wines.

WOW! What a beautiful place on earth. We had a snack there in the evening sun. The meadows smell fragrant, the field crickets chirp, and the warm rays of sunshine make the winery light up in bright colors. The snack platters are lovingly decorated with Styrian specialties. All of the products are fresh and simply delicious. And there's a great selection of wines too. What more could you want.

HURRAY! YOU ARE BACK 😊 and it was great on October 6th, 2024. We have been spending the beginning of October in southern Styria for a quarter of a century and we regularly took our annual supply of Schilcher with us to the North German steppe (Lüneburg Heath) from Eduard; then it became a bit difficult, the Buschenschank was no longer there and Edi was difficult to reach. So we were all the more pleased when we tried again that "Edi" still exists and his nephew Fabian is carrying on the Schilcher tradition; the fact that I myself come from the Styrian Salzkammergut (Altaussee) makes it even happier. Now we will revive the old custom and - despite the 60 km journey - plan our annual visit to you. 😊

Lestein 40; 💚 since Saturday, September 7th, 2024! Another fixed visit point in the Schilcher region, from me / us 👍 This location, situation, various places (arbor, cistern) in addition to the normal beer garden offer, crazy, unique. 🤩👍 And when you feel and experience the joy of the guest / person when you greet them, and with every repeat order. Then here!!! A very big thank you for that. (Completely booked out on this day, belated congratulations to the birthday boy from us!) Schilcher blend(s) 😂for me; my wife and friend feasted on Solifer and Kevner. Greetings from Weingut Trapl (Fabian Bayr BSc) Our unannounced visit was nevertheless rewarded with warmth and joy and made into a unique experience. Which my pictures hopefully reflect! Next visit already planned, but (promise) with prior registration by phone. For the magnolia table. Hopefully you can feel my enthusiasm in the text. 🍀 Thanks to all the staff and helpers. Best wishes also to neighbor "Wolfi" Your Gösser Charlie.

I discovered this winery on a spontaneous trip. The food (see photo, (cheese and delicacies plate)) was very tasty and enough for 2 people. The wine is also recommended and can be enjoyed in the garden. You also have the choice of sitting directly under the sun or at a well-shaded table.

Absolutely loved this place!! This was my first time ever in a buschenshank and it didn’t disappoint. The food was really good, wine was amazing, the place itself feels like home. The service was really good and everybody working here is super nice. They will explain everything in the menu if you ask and try to make u feel as comfortable as possible. We paid 40€ for two people. Highly recommended, coming back here for sure! 🤗
