Seefeld, on sandy soils. Seefeld is situated in the west of Neusiedl am See, at the last bits of solid land before the marshes of the lake start. The whole plot is flat, dry and very windy. Since Seefeld is hot and straight in the haze of lake Neusiedl, the grapes grow very intense aromas. 3 plots of Grüner Veltliner planted between 1978 and 1990, 1 plot of Sauvignon Blanc planted in 1997, 3 plots of Weissburgunder planted between 1980 and 2018, for a total of 1.74 hectare
During harvest, all grapes are processed in the backyard. whole bunches go straight into the screw press. No additives, no temperature control at any stage of winemaking. Juice goes straight into stainless steel and large acacia & oak barrels (2000L) as well as fiberglass tanks. All vats are racked before natural fermentation kicks in. All 3 components of HOMOK (Grüner, Weissburgunder and Sauvignon Blanc) are mostly co-fermenting. Everything matures on gross lees for 6 months without any additives, without fining and without filtration. Blended together shortly before bottling.
