Heidi Schröck took over her family’s 10-hectare estate in 1983, located in the historic village of Rust, Burgenland, Austria. The vineyards are situated on southeast-facing slopes around Lake Neusiedl, benefiting from extended sunlight hours and sandy soils rich in clay, gravel, grey quartz, and schist. The estate cultivates classic Austrian varieties, including Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, and St. Laurent, while also pioneering the revival of traditional varieties like Furmint.
